by Marilyn’s Tours:
DATA ELEMENT = TOURIST* * * * PAYMENT
ALIAS = TOURIST PAY
CHARACTERS = 12−24
RANGE = $5.00−$1,000
VARIABLES = $5.00, $10.00, $15.00, up to $1,000, and anything in between in dollars and cents.
TO CALCULATE = TOTAL COST OF ALL TOURS, ANY APPLICABLE NY STATE TAX, minus
any RESERVATION DEPOSITS made.
a. Is this truly a data element? Why or why not?
