Lab 7 Assignment

• Problem 1 (50 points):
  Most online shopping websites offer free shipping if you spend certain amount of money. Write a program that reads the following information: the purchase amount before tax, free shipping rule (the smallest amount of dollars consumer must spend to receive a free shipping), the tax percent(integer), and flat shipping charges. We will assume that the shipping charges are always the same and shipping charges ARE TAXABLE. The program will calculate and prints the total price of your purchase.

  For example: macys.com offers free shipping if you spend 99 dollars and more, so if you will spend 50 dollars, and the shipping charges are 3.99, and your state tax is 7%, the total price will be: $57.77

  For example: target.com offers free shipping if you spend 50 dollars or more, so if you will spend $99.99, and the shipping charges are 5.99, and your state tax is 6%, the total will be $105.99

• Problem 2 (50 points): In most cases, buy in bulk option is cheaper than buying packaged food, but not always. Write a program that reads price of the item per pound in the bulk session, size of the package (float, could be half pound package, for example), and the price of the package. The program finds and prints which option is cheaper, or notify user that both options offer the same price per pound.

  For example, organic quinoa in bulk sesion cost 5.99 per pound, and the package of 2.5 pounds cost $12.9. In this case, it is cheaper to buy the package, since the price per pound in packaged version will be $5.2 which is less than $5.99 in bulk session.

  For example: almonds in bulk session cost 7.99 per pound, and the package of 3/4 of the pound cost 6.99. In this case it is cheaper to buy in bulk, since the pound of packaged almonds will cost $9.32

  For example: the pound of ham cost 10 dollars, and the 2 pound package cost 20 dollars, in this case both options have equal value.

  Pay attention, when you test your program, to test the third option, input whole numbers to avoid issues with floating point numbers rounding.
