When you retrieve values from the query string they are stored as a sting, that is why you get 11 - it's a string not a number. What you have to do is convert them back to a number before use, use the built in function cint()meal = cint(request("meal"))acm = cint(request("accomodation"))total_cost = meal + acmI've not tested it but im sure it's correct
