Data Type Mismatch Error in C++ Code: Rectification Needed

I need help with a data type-related problem in my C++ code. I’ve tried a few different approaches and have read various sites like Scaler, but I haven’t had any luck. This is a sample of the code that causes issues:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    float totalAmount;
    int discountPercentage;

    std::cout << "Enter total amount: ";
    std::cin >> totalAmount;

    std::cout << "Enter discount percentage: ";
    std::cin >> discountPercentage;

    float discountedAmount = totalAmount - (totalAmount * discountPercentage / 100);
    
    std::cout << "Discounted Amount: " << discountedAmount << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Despite seemingly correct logic, the code is producing unexpected results. The discount calculation appears to be incorrect. What data type-related error might be causing this issue, and how can I rectify it to ensure accurate discount calculations?

I have tried to enter some data and all seems good. Is there anything specific you found? Could you please let us know what’s your input, output and expected result?
