How to include currency with proper decimal points?

Question

I'm trying to make "totalSales" and "totalCommissions" into currency format with decimal points in the right spots. ($250,000.00) Something like this

Console.WriteLine("Totals: " + totalSales + " " + totalCommissions);

Console.WriteLine($"Totals: {totalSales:C} {totalCommissions:C}");

Here's why it works:

You're setting a bad example by posting a one-line answer to a duplicate, for cheap rep :( – Ben Voigt Mar 25 '19 at 04:42
If I can answer in less time than it takes to find the duplicate, I usually do. – Joel Coehoorn Mar 25 '19 at 04:42

How are we supposed to rally other answerers to not promulgate dupes when the founders are doing it? – Ben Voigt Mar 25 '19 at 04:44
