Question

2. Add a title comment block to the top of the new Python file using the following form # A brief description of the project

3. Ask user - to enter the charge for food

4. Ask user - to enter theTip for server ( remember this is a percentage , the input therefore should be decimal. For example, for a 15% tip, 0.15 should be entered)

5. Ask user - to enter the Tax amount ( this is a percentage too, so for a 6% tax , 0.06 should be entered)

6. Calculate tip and tax

7. Display the following: *Calculated tip *Calculated tax *Display total cost of meal ( food charge + tip+ tax)

8. What is the finished code solution file(s)

Notes: the tip , tax and amount are to be requested from the user, they are NOT hard coded (fixed amounts) Write program Pseudocode ( detail algorithm) and add it as a comment block to the submitted program.

Answer 1

'''

Python version : 2.7

Python program to calculate the total cost of meal

'''

'''

Pseudocode:

1. Input the charge of food, tip percent and tax percent from user

2. Calculate tax = charge*taxPercent

3. Calculate tip = (charge+tax)*tipPercent

4. Calculate total charge = charge+tax+tip

5. Display tip, tax and total charge

'''

# input the charge of food

cost = float(raw_input('Enter the charge for food : '))

# input the tip as percent value

tipPercent = float(raw_input('Enter the tip for the server : '))

# input the tax as percent value

taxPercent = float(raw_input('Enter the tax amount : '))

# calculate the total tax on the food

tax = cost*taxPercent

# calculate total cost as cost + tax

totalCost = cost + tax

# calculate the tip on total amount

tip = totalCost*tipPercent

# add tip to total cost

totalCost += tip

# print the tip, tax and total charge of meal

print('Calculated tip : $%.2f' %(tip))

print('Calculated tax : $%.2f' %(tax))

print('Display total cost of meal : $%.2f' %(totalCost))

#end of program
