Question

Please write the script for following problem in MATLAB.

Write a script with a file name Problem3.m that, when executed, prints

1.99 dollars per unit. How many units will you purchase? [new line]

Then control is given back to the user to input a scalar integer quantity. The script then prints out

__ units at 1.99 dollars per unit is a total of ___ dollars. [new line]

where the first blank is filled with whatever number was inputted by the user, and the second blank is the total cost of all the units, rounded to the nearest cent. For example:

>>Problem3

1.99 dollars per unit. How many units will you purchase? 5

5 units at 1.99 dollars per unit is a total of 9.95 dollars.

Answer 1

Code:

% prompt the input information about price to the user
% Take the number of units as the input
units = input('1.99 dollars per unit. How many units will you purchase? ');

% define the per unit price for the item
per_unit_price = 1.99;

% calculate the total price based on the number
% of units entered by the user
total_price = units * 1.99;

% make it to the nearest cent
total_price_nearest_cent = ceil(total_price*100)/100;

% print the final price to the user with number of units
fprintf("\n%d units at 1.99 dollars per unit is a total of %.2f dollars.\n", units, total_price_nearest_cent);

Screenshot of the output:

1.99 dollars per unit. How m 5 units at 1.99 dollars per unit is a total of 9.95 dollars.
