Retail price calculator
Write a program that asks the user to enter an item’s wholesale cost and its markup percentage. It should then display the item’s retail price. For example:
• If an item’s wholesale cost is 5.00 and its markup percentage is 100 percent, then the item’s retail price is 10.00.• If an item’s wholesale cost is 5.00 and its markup percentage is 50 percent, then the item’s retail price is 7.50.
The program should have a method named calculateRetail that receives the wholesale cost and the markup percentage as arguments and returns the retail price of the item.
Assignment
Write a program that tracks how much steps the user walks in total in a day and reports if the
daily target is reached or not. The program will keep reading double values, each representing
steps walked during an individual activity within a day (stepsWalked) until either the user
enters a negative value or the daily target of 5000 steps is met. If the user enters a negative
number, the program should print total steps walked as a double. Otherwise, if the target is
exactly reached, the program should simply print "Target is reached", finally if the target is
surpassed the program should print the text "Target is surpassed by", followed by the excess
amount above the target as a double, and finally printing the text "steps".
NOTE: YOU MUST use a repetitive statement in this question.
NOTE: Each stepsWalked value will be given as a non-negative value. You do NOT need to
check this.

- (Simulation) Write a program to simulate the roll of two dice. If the total of the two dice is 7 or 11, you win; otherwise, you lose. Embellish this program as much as you like, with betting, different odds, different combinations for win or lose, stopping play when you have no money left or reach the house limit, displaying the dice, and so forth. (Hint: Calculate the dots showing on each die with the expression dots=(int)(6.0randomnumber+1), where the random number is between 0 and 1.)arrow_forwardTranscribed Image Text Write a program that asks for the principal, the annual interest rate, and the number of times the interest is compounded.

For this company, an employee earns $20 an hour for the first 40 hours that they work. The employee earns overtime, $30 an hour, for each hour they work above 40 hours. Example: If an employee works 60 hours in a week, they would earn $20/hr for the first 40 hours. Then they would earn $30/hr for the 20 hours they worked overtime. Therefore, they earned: ($20/hr 40hrs)+($30/hr 20 hrs) $800+ $600 = $1400 total. For this assignment, you must create pseudocode and a flowchart to design a program that will calculate an employee's weekly paycheck. - Write pseudocode to design a programming solution by outlining a series of steps and using appropriate indentation and keywords. As you write your pseudocode, be sure to consider the following: What input does the computer need? What steps does the program need to follow to process the input? What output should…arrow_forward
- Problem: A small company needs an interactive program to compute an employee’s paycheck. The payroll clerk will initially input the data, and given the input data, an employee's wage for the week should be displayed on the screen for the payroll check. The data for the employee includes the employee's hourly pay rate and the number of hours worked that week. Wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked (up to 40 hours). If the employee worked more than 40 hours, wage is equal to the employee's pay rate times 40 hours plus 1½ times the employee's pay rate times the number of hours worked above 40. Instructions: Match the action at the left-side with the correct step number at the right-side (the attached picture). Note that it may be possible to group more than one related actions in the same logical step / process without altering the essence of the algorithm. In the program flow, input and checking of hourly pay rate should come before that of the number…arrow_forwardUse C Language Airline Reservation System A small airline has just purchased a computer for its new automated reservations system.

Your program should display the following menu of alternatives: Please type 1 for "first class" Please type 2 for "economy" If the person types 1, then your program should assign a seat in the first class section (seats 1-5). If the person types 2, then your program should assign a seat in the economy section (seats 6-10). Your program should then print a boarding pass indicating the person's seat number and whether it is in the first class or economy section of the plane. Use a single-subscripted array to represent the seating chart of the plane. Initialize all the elements of the array to 0 to indicate that all seats are empty.
