What is causing this error? I google'd it and first few solutions I found were that something was wrong with the library and the main function but both seem to be fine in my problem, I even retyped both! What could be causing this?
This might be helpful:
MSVCRTD.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol WinMain@16 referenced in function __tmainCRTStartup
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const double A = 15.0,
B = 12.0,
C = 9.0;
double aTotal, bTotal, cTotal, total;
int numSold;
cout << "Enter The Number of Class A Tickets Sold: ";
cin >> numSold;
aTotal = numSold * A;
cout << "Enter The Number of Class B Tickets Sold: ";
cin >> numSold;
bTotal = numSold * B;
cout << "Enter The Number of Class C Tickets Sold: ";
cin >> numSold;
cTotal = numSold * C;
total = aTotal + bTotal + cTotal;
cout << "Income Generated" << endl;
cout << "From Class A Seats $" << aTotal << endl;
cout << "From Class B Seats $" << bTotal << endl;
cout << "From Class C Seats $" << cTotal << endl;
cout << "-----------------------" << endl;
cout << "Total Income: " << total << endl;
return 0;
}

When you created the project, you made the wrong choice of application type. When asked whether your project was a console application or a windows application or a DLL or a static library, you made the wrong chose windows application (wrong choice).
Go back, start over again, go to File -> New -> Project -> Win32 Console Application -> name your app -> click next -> click application settings.
For the application type, make sure Console Application is selected (this step is the vital step).
The main for a windows application is called WinMain, for a DLL is called DllMain, for a .NET application is called Main(cli::array ^), and a static library doesn't have a main. Only in a console app is main called main
