TCO 2—Given a simple problem, design a solution algorithm that uses arithmetic expressions

 Game Seating Charges

TCO 2—Given a simple problem, design a solution algorithm that uses arithmetic expressions and built-in functions.

Assignment

Your goal is to solve the following simple programming exercise. You have been contracted by a local stadium to design an algorithm determining the total seating charges for any game held at the stadium. Lower-level seats cost $25 per seat, mid-level seats cost $15 per seat, and upper-level seats cost $10 per seat. The algorithm should ask the user for the number of seats being purchased in each seating level. Then, the algorithm will determine the total for each level and a grand total for the entire purchase.

Be sure about the logic and design first (IPO chart, flowchart, and pseudocode).

Advanced (optional): Use constants for the per-seat cost for each level.

3)      Flowchart

Use MS Visio to create a flowchart. Paste the flowchart here or attach it as a separate document. Use the same valid variable names that you used in Step 1.

4)      Pseudocode

Describe your solution using pseudocode. Use the same valid variable names that you selected in Step 1.

5)      Desk-Check

Desk-check your solution by using the following sample data.

Lower level seats 3

Mid level seats 4

Upper level seats 5

Enter the expected outputs.

Expected total cost lower level ____________

Expected total cost mid level _____________

Expected total upper level ____________

Expected total for all seats _____________

TCO 2 — Given a simple problem, design a solution algorithm that uses arithmetic expressions and built-in functions.

Scenario                                                                          

Your goal is to solve the following simple programming exercise. You have been contracted by a local antique store to design an algorithm determining the total purchases and sales tax. According to the store owner, the user will need to see the subtotal, the sales tax amount, and the total purchase amount. A customer is purchasing four items from the antique store. Design an algorithm where the user will enter the price of each of the four items. The algorithm will determine the subtotal, the sales tax, and the total purchase amount. Assume the sales tax is 7%.

Be sure to think about the logic and design first (input-process-output (IPO) chart, flowchart, and pseudocode). Display all output using currency formatting.

Advanced (optional): Use a constant for the 7% sales tax.
