    SalesPrice.Text = cal.ToString();

You're performing integer arithmetic. Make either of the operands a decimal, e.g. `55m/4`. (This is a duplicate of *many* questions, but I don't have time to find one right now.) — Jon Skeet, May 14 '15 at 08:00
@captainsac: Those would give a result of a `double`; the OP wants a `decimal`. — Jon Skeet, May 14 '15 at 08:02
never mind. she wants the result as 13.75.. can change the data type of cal variable. — captainsac, May 14 '15 at 08:04
@captainsac: Or change your suggestion which uses a `double` literal to use a `decimal` literal instead... — Jon Skeet, May 14 '15 at 08:05
Thanks I got the answer by trying both the ways 55m/4 and 55.0/4 thanks for the help — Swathi Venugopal, May 14 '15 at 08:09
@JonSkeet I figured out the answer but What this is called in C#? Is it boxing and unboxing thing or ? — Rahul Nikate, May 14 '15 at 08:12
@RahulNikate: No, there's no boxing here at all. What are you asking about? — Jon Skeet, May 14 '15 at 08:14
@JonSkeet Why do we need to mention decimal while doing this arithmetic. Any specific name in C# specs for this type of conversion. I think it's type casting. — Rahul Nikate, May 14 '15 at 08:16
@RahulNikate: Not sure what you mean by "need to mention" - you can have `var cal = 55m / 4;` and it will still be a `decimal`. It's just the type of the literal (`55m` is a `decimal` literal) and normal operator overload resolution. — Jon Skeet, May 14 '15 at 08:49

Try doing: decimal cal = 55m/4;
