Airline companies apply baggage restrictions for their passengers. An
airline company has decided to apply a 10kg limitation for
passengers' hand luggage and 20kg for their normal baggage. When
passengers arrive, they enter their hand and normal luggage weight
from the keyboard. If passengers exceed their normal baggage
allowance of 10 dollars per gram, they pay 12 dollars per kg.
Accordingly, write the program that calculates the baggage price of
the airline they will go to according to the baggage values entered by
the arriving passenger and keeps this from closing the program for
each passenger. Note: If hand and normal baggage allowances are
stretched below the maximum value, the payment amount will be
considered not negative. An example printout is given on the right.

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 trip

- The cost of renting a room at a hotel is, say $100.00 per night. For special occasions, such as a wedding or conference, the hotel offers a special discount as follows: If the number of rooms booked at least 10, the discount is 10%; at least 20, the discount is 20%; and at least 30, the discount is 30%. Also if rooms are booked for at least three days, then there is an additional 5% discount. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the cost of renting one room, the number of rooms booked, the number of days the rooms are booked, and the sales tax (as a percent). The program outputs the cost of renting one room, the discount on each room as a percent, the number of rooms booked, the number of days the rooms are booked, the total cost of the rooms, the sales tax, and the total billing amount. Your program must use appropriate named constants to store special values such as various discounts.arrow_forwardThe Café Noir Coffee Shop wants some market research on its customers. When a customer places an order, a clerk asks for the customer’s zip code and age. The clerk enters that data as well as the number of items the customer orders. The program operates continuously until the clerk enters a 0 for zip code at the end of the day. When the clerk enters an invalid zip code (more than 5 digits) or an invalid age (defined as less than 10 or more than 110), the program reprompts the clerk continuously. When the clerk enters fewer than 1 or more than 12 items, the program reprompts the clerk two more times. If the clerk enters a high value on the third attempt, the program accepts the high value, but if the clerk enters a negative value onthe third attempt, an error message is displayed and the order is not counted. At the end of the program, display a count of the number of items ordered by customers from the same zip code as the coffee shop (54984), and a count from other zip codes.

After getting the three grades, the program should compute for the semestral grade. The computation of the semestral grade is as follows: 30%*PrelimGrade + 30%*midtermgrade + 40%finalgrade After inputting all the grades, the screen should clear again and will proceed to another screen.arrow_forward
- When Jacob Steinberg began his trip from California to Vermont, he filled his car’s tank with gas and reset its trip meter to 0. After traveling 324 miles, Jacob stopped at a gas station to refuel; the gas tank required 17 gallons. Jacob wants a program that calculates and displays his car’s gas mileage at any time during the trip. The gas mileage is the number of miles his car can be driven per gallon of gas. Desk-check your solution’s algorithm using 324 as the number of miles driven and 17 as the number of gallons used; then desk-check it using 280 and 15.arrow_forwardWrite a program will then ask for the prelim grade, midterm grade and final grade of the student.
