Has anyone had any trouble using scanf to read in a floating point value?

I tried this in my code:

    double amount;

    scanf("%f", amount);
    printf("amount = %10.2f\n", amount);


When I run the program and enter 4.25 the printf statement prints 0.00.

I have successfully used scanf to read in a string but anything else seems
to fail.
