Formatting a double to output

Question

Hi,
I am looking for some help to format the output of this test app
the objective of this program is to work out the demonations of money required
to pay out a withdrawl.
The results seem to be what I want thanks to some help on this forum last week
only as I am using a double the output is printing wrong.
for example
amount 173 / 50 = 3.43
     so there are three $50's in 173
the remainder is 23
     so
     23 / 20 = 1.15
     so there is three $20 in 23
     the remainder is 3
     etc
I am happy that it is working out the right number of demonations required
but I cannot sort out the output.
Here is the code
package Exer2;
public class Exer3
{ // start class
     public static void main(String args[])
     { // start main
     double oldBal = 9526;
     double newBal;
     double withDraw = 173;  // amount withdrawn
     double remainder = 0;
     double balance = 0;
     // Set up the arrays and dim to 11
     double [] arrayFive = new double [11];
     double [] arrayPound = new double [11];
     arrayFive [0] = 50;
     arrayFive [1] = 20;
     arrayFive [2] = 10;
     arrayFive [3] = 5;
     arrayFive [4] = 2; 
     arrayFive [5] = 1;  
     arrayFive [6] = 050; 
     arrayFive [7] = 020;  
     arrayFive [8] = 020;  
     arrayFive [9] = 005;
     arrayFive [10] =001;
     // Objective is to work out how many 50's , 20's 10's etc are required
     // to pay out the withdrawl figure above
     System.out.println("Amount Withdrawn : " + withDraw);
     System.out.println("");
     while ( withDraw > 0 )
     { // Start while loop
          for ( int i = 0; i < 11; i++)
          { // start for loop
              if (withDraw > 0 )
                   { // start if statement
                arrayPound = withDraw / arrayFive [i];
               remainder = withDraw % arrayFive [i];
               //System.out.println(" First print arrayPound [i] " + arrayPound [i]);
               balance = arrayPound [i] * arrayFive [i];
               withDraw = withDraw - balance;
               withDraw = remainder;
               //System.out.println(" Third print Arrayfive [i] " + arrayFive [i]);
               //System.out.println(" Fourth print withdraw " + withDraw);
               System.out.println("The Number of " + arrayFive [i] + " Pounds/coins is : " + arrayPound [i]);
               System.out.println("");
               System.out.println("Remainder : " + remainder );
               System.out.println("");
          } //end if statement
          //else Do not need an else for this
          //{ // start else
               //System.out.println("Exiting....");
               //System.exit(0);
               //continue;
               //return;
               //break;
          //} // end else
          } // end for loop
     } // end while loop
     } // end main
} // end class
Here is the output
Amount Withdrawn : 173.0
The Number of 50.0 Pounds/coins is : 3.46
Remainder : 23.0
The Number of 20.0 Pounds/coins is : 1.15
Remainder : 3.0
The Number of 10.0 Pounds/coins is : 0.3
Remainder : 3.0
The Number of 5.0 Pounds/coins is : 0.6
Remainder : 3.0
The Number of 2.0 Pounds/coins is : 1.5
Remainder : 1.0
The Number of 1.0 Pounds/coins is : 1.0
Remainder : 0.0
Can anyone help me to format this output correctly so its like
The Number of 50.0 Pounds/coins is : 3
I'm sure there is a cleaner/better way to do this so any comments would be appreciated
Thanks

If you don't want to use DecimalFormat, try casting to an int...
System.out.println("The Number of "
                            + arrayFive[i]
                            + " Pounds/coins is : "
                            + (int) arrayPound);
