Question

Please read the following program requirements carefully:

 You are working as an eBay Seller, where your customers are only in New York (n), New Jersey (j) and Pennsylvania (p).

 Your C++ program is supposed ask the name of the state where the purchase is made. (n or j or p)

 Next your program asks the amount of purchase.

 Then, you calculate the Total amount by adding the proper State sales tax calculation to the Purchase Amount by using,

 Sales tax in NY : 8.875%  Sales tax in NJ : 6.625%  Sales tax in PA : 6%

 Finally print the Total on the screen for each transaction.

EXITING THE PROGRAM: Program may be exited in either of the following 2 ways: (If you implement only 1 exit methodology , you will have 7 points deduction)

1. User can enter q (for quit) instead of state name

2. User can answer a question: “Do you have another purchase to calculate the Total (y/n) ? “ and if the answer is n (for no)

C++ programming

Answer 1

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
   char name,flag;
   float amount,total=0;
   while(true){
       cout<<"Enter name of the state where the purchase is made. (n or j or p)"<<endl;
       cin>>name;
       if(name=='q'){
           exit(1);
       }
       cout<<"Enter amount of purchase"<<endl;
       cin>>amount;
       if(name=='n'){
           total=amount+(amount*0.0875);
       }
       else if(name=='j'){
           total=amount+(amount*0.06625);
       }
       else if(name=='p'){
           total=amount+(amount*0.06);
       }
       cout<<"Total: $"<<total<<endl;
       cout<<"Do you have another purchase to calculate the Total (y/n) ?"<<endl;
       cin>>flag;
       if(flag=='n'){
           break;
       }
   }

}

Expected output:
