Answer to Question #300463 in C++ for mikey

Question

The cost to ship a package is a flat fee of 75 cents plus 25 cents per pound.

1. Declare a const named CENTS_PER_POUND and initialize with 25.

2. Get the shipping weight from user input storing the weight into shipWeightPounds.

3. Using FLAT_FEE_CENTS and CENTS_PER_POUND constants, assign shipCostCents with the cost of shipping a package weighing shipWeightPounds.

Answer 1

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

const int CENTS_PER_POUND=25;
const int FLAT_FEE_CENTS=75;

int main()
{
	float shipWeightPounds;
	do
	{
		cout<<"Please, enter the shipping weight (0 - exit program): ";
		cin>>shipWeightPounds;
		if(shipWeightPounds==0)break;
		float shipCostCents=FLAT_FEE_CENTS+CENTS_PER_POUND*shipWeightPounds;
		cout<<"shipCostCents = "<<shipCostCents<<" cents "<<endl;
	}while(true);
}
