A software company sells a package that retails for $99. Quantity discounts are given according to the following table:
Quantity
Discount
10 – 19
10%
20 – 49
20%
50 – 99
30%
100 or more
40%
Write a program that asks the user to enter the number of packages purchased. The program should then display the full retail price before any discount, the amount of the discount (if any), and the total amount of the purchase after any discount. Do not allow numbers less than 0.

- Write a program that can calculate the future and present value of an investment given various parameters. When you calculate the future value of an investment, the more years you hold the investment and the higher the rate of return, the more valuable it is. For example, a $1000 investment at 7% return will give you $1070 (1000+ 0.07-1000) after one year and $1144.90 (1070+0.07-1007) after two years. However, because of inflation, that $1144.90 after two years is not worth the same as $1144.90 now. If the inflation rate is 2%, $1144.90 in two years is the equivalent of $1100.44 now-i.e- L02 More generally, the present value, p, of an investment is 1.02² 1144.90 f p= where is the inflation rate as a percentage. Typically, one would add to the investment with annual contributions. Let's say you start with a $1000 investment and add $100 every year. Therefore, after the first year, you will have $1177 - 7% return on $1100i.e. $1000 initial investment + the $100 year one contribution.…arrow_forwardRunning the program Your program should take 5 arguments: start annual years return inflation where start is the initial investment amount annual is the amount that is added to the investment every year years is the number of years that the investment is held return is the annual investment return expressed as a percentage inflation is the annual inflation rate expressed as a percentage So, to calculate the future and present value of $1000 investment after 10 years where you add $100 every year with a 7% return and 2% inflation, you give the following arguments and get this output: $ ./fv 1000 100 10 7 2 Future Value: $3445.51 Present Value: $2826.52 Writing the code Starter code is provided for you below int main(int arge, char **argv ) { int a, n double value, present, I, is value= atof (argv[1]); a = atoi (argv[2]); natoi (argv[3]); r = atof (argv[4])/100; i = atof(argv[5])/100; // TODO write your code here printf ("Future Value: $%.2f\n", value) printf("Present Value: $%.2f\n",…arrow_forwardA software company sells a package that retails for $99.

- The two roots of a quadratic equationax2 + bx + c = 0 can be obtained using the following formula:b2 - 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation. If it is positive, theequation has two real roots. If it is zero, the equation has one root. If it is negative,the equation has no real roots.Write a program that prompts the user to enter values for a, b, and c and displaysthe result based on the discriminant. If the discriminant is positive, display tworoots. If the discriminant is 0, display one root. Otherwise, display “The equationhas no real roots.”Note you can use Math.pow(x, 0.5) to compute √x.

- The BlueMont chain hotels have 4 different types of room: Single room: $60/night Double room: $75/night King room: $100/night Suite room: $150/night The size of the hotel chains in different locations may be different in terms of the number of floors and the type and the number of rooms on each floor. You are required to write a program that calculates the occupancy rate and the total hotel income for one night and displays this information as well as some other information described below. The program starts by asking the location where this hotel chain is located and the number of floors in the hotel. The number of floors may not exceed 5. The User then enters the total number of rooms for each floor. The program then asks specifically the number of occupied rooms for each room type on this floor. The total number of rooms on each floor may not exceed 30 and the program should check that the total number of occupied rooms on each floor does not exceed the total of rooms on…arrow_forwardComplete the program below that monitors the accounts of customers by keeping track of the balance, credit, charges and credit limit of each account. The program will compute the new balance and display a warning message (“Credit limit exceeded”) if the New Balance is greater than the credit limit.
