Question

1. Ann is planning to purchase some items. The store is having a sale, where if you buy one item the 2^nd item (of equal or lower value) is 50% off. The tax on each item is 7%.                                                                                                                    

• Item 1 costs $39.75 before taxes.
• Item 2 costs $65.50 before taxes.
  1. If Ann only buys Item 2, what is the total cost of her purchase after taxes? Display this value (rounded to the nearest cent) with a suitable message.
  2. If Ann buys Item 1 and Item 2, what is the total cost after taxes? Display this value (rounded to the nearest cent) with a suitable message.
  3. If Ann buys Item 1 and Item 2, how much money does Ann save before taxes, due to the sale? Display this value (rounded to the nearest cent) with a suitable message.

Answer: Hi! Kindly find your solution here. You didn't mention any language for a program that's why I used C++ language. If you have any queries, feel free to ask me. Thanks.

#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int item;
   double tax,cost,total,save;
   cout<<"There are two items in sale:"<<endl;
   cout<<"Item 1"<<endl;
   cout<<"Item 2"<<endl;
   cout<<"Which item do you want to buy? enter 1 for Item 1 and 2 for Item,3 for both 2"<<endl;
   cin>>item;
  
   if(item==2)
   {
       cost=item*65.50;
       tax=cost*7/100;
       cost=cost+tax;
       cout<<"Total cost is: $ "<<fixed<<setprecision(2)<<cost;
   }
else
       if(item==3)
       {
           cost=39.75+65.50;
           tax=cost*7/100;
           cost=cost/2;
           save=cost;
           cost=cost+tax;
       cout<<endl<<"Total cost is:$'<<fixed<<setprecision(2)<<cost;
       cout<<endl<<"He saved :$ "<<save;
       }
       return 0;
   }

  

cost=65.50; tax-cost 7/100; cost cost+tax: Total cost is: $59.99 He saved : $ 52.62
