Im kind of lost....here is what I've come up with so far.

I am going to assume you are asking about the remaining TODOs in this program.
On line 69 you have output that is spaced properly.
On lines after the TODO on 71 there are some very obvious differences between those cout statements and the cout statement from line 69.
The TODO on line 89 involves using setprecision from the iomanip library: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iomanip/setprecision/
If you need the dollar sign, you can do something very similar to printing a space (" ") between words, but instead do a dollar sign ("$").
You could run the program to see if that is the case. As far as I can tell it should receive the input properly.
Edit:
I went ahead and ran your program on ideone, it would seem that you are getting the input right and just need to fix the output: http://ideone.com/UjbLIs

First instead of doing using std::NameOfFunc; for every one you need just do using namespace std;
As for your question what do you mean it isnt working can you tell me what you exspect and what your getting. Untill then move the setprecision() next to var in cout your using it for see if it helps.
I'm expecting the number I input when the program asks me to enter a number to display with two decimal places in the final story that gets printed but that's not occurring.
I was thinking perhaps I did something wrong with where I put setprecision(x)?
Try also using fixed. My guess is you are entering something like 5.00 instead of something like 3.1415926. Check the link I posted earlier on setprecision.
