Question

A wholesale egg company bases their prices on the number of eggs purchased: 0 up to but not including 4 dozen $0.50 per dozen 4 up to but not including 6 dozen $0.45 per dozen 6 up to but not including 11 dozen $0.40 per dozen 11 or more dozen $0.35 per dozen Extra eggs are priced at 1/12the per dozen price. Create an Eggs application that prompts the user for the number of eggs, and then calculates the bill. The application output should look similar to:

Enter the number of eggs purchased: 18

The bill is equal to: $0.75

Notes:

Coded in Java please.

Don't use any keyboard codes or anything too complicated. Try and make it the easiest way to solve it because I am in grade 11

Answer 1

Code:

import java.util.Scanner;/*Importing scanner class*/
class egg
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
       int negg;
       double dozen,price;/*Declaring variables*/
       Scanner scnr=new Scanner(System.in);
       System.out.print("Enter the number of eggs purchased: ");
       negg=scnr.nextInt();/*no of eggs from the user*/
       dozen=negg/12.0;/*Calculating no of dozens*/
       if(dozen<4)
       {
           price=0.5;/*If no dozens is less than 4*/
       }  
       else if(dozen<6)
       {
           price=0.45;/*If no dozens is less than 6 and above 4 */
       }
       else if(dozen<11)
       {
           price=0.4;/*If no dozens is less than 11 and above 6 */
       }
       else
       {
           price=0.35;/*If no fo dozens 11 or above*/
       }
       System.out.print("The bill is equal to: $"+(dozen*price));
       /*Finally we print the bill*/
   }
}
