Total price incorrect

I created an investment account and entered three
investments: A, B, and C. When I entered the number of
shares purchased and the price per share, the total cost
for "C" is only 1% of what it should be (100 shares X $5
per share = $5.00 total, instead of $500). A and B are
okay. Can't figure out why C is a 100th of its real
total. I've deleted it and re-entered it about 10 times
but the result is always the same.

Anybody know what I did wrong?

You entered C as a bond. Bond prices are expressed as a percent, even though
it looks like it should be '$'. See HELP.
