Question

A company pays its five salespeople on a commission basis. The salespeople receive $200 plus 10% of their sale. For example, for the employee sale of $1000, the commission is $300.

Write a C program that:

• inputs each employee sales.
• The program then calculates the employee commission, prints out each employee commission.
• The program calculates the total sum of all commissions paid, and print.
• Your program will use a sentinel value to exit.
• You must use a one-dimensional array for the sales people commissions.

int main(void)
{
    // a one-dimensional array for the sales people commissions
    float commissions[1000];
    int k = 0;
    // use sentinel loop
    while (1)
    {
        printf("Enter Sales value (-1 to stop): ");
        float val;
        scanf("%f", &val);
        if (val == -1)
        {
            break;
        }
        //  calculates each employee commission
        commissions[k++] = 200 + (val * 0.1);
    }
    // prints out each employee commission
    printf("Each Employee Commission...\n");
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
    {
        printf("Employee %d: $%0.2f\n", i + 1, commissions[i]);
    }

    // calculate the total sum of all commissions paid, and print
    float total_sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
    {
        total_sum += commissions[i];
    }
    printf("Total Commissions Paid = $%0.2f", total_sum);
