the first mistake is that you have to input types with the same name
let name the second one amount2
to assign the value do amount2.value = "assignn here the value you calculated"

the create a function eg:
this is where u need to set the field to true.
function setValue(controlName) {
controlName.selected = true;
}

then on submit add this onclick="setValue(amount2);"
this has always worked for me
