A metric ton is 35,273.92 ounces. Write a
Weight of breakfast package
Program Plan:
- Include required header files.
- Initializes “const” variable “OUNCES_PER_METRICTON” to “35273.92”.
- Define main function,
- Declare three variables in “double” datatype.
- Declare a “char” variable for user option.
- Then performs “do-while” loop.
- Prompt statement for read the weight of packages in ounces.
- Read the weight of packages from user.
- Compute the weight in metric tons using “ounces/OUNCES_PER_METRICTON” and then store it in a variable “weightMetricTon”.
- Compute the number of boxes required to produce “1” metric ton using “OUNCES_PER_METRICTON/ounces” and then store it in a variable “no_of_boxes”.
- Display the weight in metric tons and number of boxes.
- Prompt statement for read the user option to continue the calculation.
- Read the user option.
- Check the user option using “while” loop. If the user entered option is equal to “y” or “Y” then continue the above process.
- Otherwise, the program terminated.
The below program is used to compute the weight of package of breakfast cereal in metric tons and number of boxes from the given weight of package in ounces
Explanation of Solution
Program:
//Header file
#include <iostream>
//For standard input and output
using namespace std;
/* Initializes the const variable "OUNCES_PER_METRICTON" to "35273.92" */
const double OUNCES_PER_METRICTON = 35273.92;
//Define main function
int main()
{
//Declare variables in type of "double"
double ounces, weightMetricTon, no_of_boxes;
//Declare variable in type of "char"
char option;
//Check the condition using "do-while" loop
do
{
/* Prompt statement for read the weight of package in ounces */
cout << "Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces: ";
//Read the weight in ounces from user
cin>>ounces;
//Compute the given weight in metric ton
weightMetricTon = ounces/OUNCES_PER_METRICTON;
/* Compute the number of boxes required to produce "1" metric ton */
no_of_boxes = OUNCES_PER_METRICTON/ounces;
//Display the weight in metric tons
cout << "Weight of packets in metric tons: " << weightMetricTon << endl;
//Display the number of boxes
cout << "Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: " << no_of_boxes << endl;
//Prompt statement for asking the user choice
cout << "Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate: ";
//Read option from user
cin >> option;
}
/* If the user entered option is "y" or "Y", then continue the above process. Otherwise program terminated */
while (option == 'y' || option == 'Y');
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces: 4000
Weight of packets in metric tons: 0.113398
Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: 8.81848
Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate: y
Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces: 4820
Weight of packets in metric tons: 0.136645
Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: 7.31824
Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate: n

- Meadowdale Dairy Farm sells organic brown eggs to local customers. It charges $3.25 for a dozen eggs, or 45 cents for individual eggs that are not part of a dozen. Write a program that prompts a user for the number of eggs in the order and then display the amount owed with a full explanation using the following wording: You ordered 27 eggs. That’s 2 dozen at $3.25 per dozen and 3 loose eggs at 45 cents each for a total of $7.85. So far everything is right but something in my equations is causing my ouput to show up as 45.0arrow_forwardMeadowdale Dairy Farm sells organic brown eggs to local customers.

The maximum charge for any given 24-hour period is $10.00. Assume that no car parks for longer than 24 hours at a time. Write a program that will calculate and print the parking charges for each of three customers who parked their cars in this garage yesterday. You should enter the hours parked for each customer. Your program should print the results in a neat tabular format, and should calculate and print the total of yesterday's receipts. The program should use the function calculate Charges to determine the charge for each customer.arrow_forward
- Given the sample code above in generating a random number. Create a program that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows. 1. When the program begins, a random number in the range of 1 through 3 is generated. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Don't display the computer's choice yet.) 2. The user enters his or her choice of "rock", "paper", or "scissors" at the keyboard. (You can use a menu if you prefer.) 13. The computer's choice is displayed. 4. A winner is selected according to the following rules: a. If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins. (The rock smashes the scissors.) b. If one player chooses scissors and the other player chooses paper, then scissor wins. (Scissors cuts paper.) c. If one player chooses paper and the other player…arrow_forwardWrite a program that computes the molecular weight of a carbohydrate (ingrams per mole) based on the number of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygenatoms in the molecule. The program should prompt the user to enter thenumber of hydrogen atoms, the number of carbon atoms, and the numberof oxygen atoms. The program then prints the total combined molecularweight of all the atoms based on these individual atom weights:Atom Weight(grams I mole)H 1.00794c 12.01070 15.9994For example, the molecular weight of water (H20) is: 2(1.00794) +15.9994 = 18.01528.arrow_forwardA parking garage charges a $2.00 minimum fee to park for up to three hours.

- In Python Write a program that computes the fuel efficiency for a multi-leg journey. The program will first prompt for the starting odometer reading and then get information about a series of legs. For each leg, the user enters the current odometer reading and the amount of gas used (separated by a space). The user signals the end of the trip with a blank line. The program should print the miles per gallon achieved on each leg and the total MPG for the triparrow_forwardWrite a program that calculates how much a person earns in a month if the salary is one penny the first day, two pennies the second day, four pennies the third day, and so on with the daily pay doubling each day the employee works. The program should ask the user for the number of days the employee worked during the month, validate that it is between 1 and 31, and then display a table showing how much the salary was for each day worked, as well as the total pay earned for the month. The output should be displayed in dollars with two decimal points, not in pennies.arrow_forward2.
