C++ Programming Homework

Hello. I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my program. Currently it is telling me that "C2228: left of '.cin' must have class/struct/union" and "C2181: illegal else without matching if". I've been trying to figure out what I did wrong but everything I do does not work. The program is supposed to accept either "S" or "J" and show the certain amount of money that letter makes.
