Question

Write a program that will compute the total sales tax on a $95 purchase.
Assume the state sales tax is 4 percent and the county sales tax is 2 percent
... and then display the amounts for the total sales tax, state sales tax, and
county sales tax.

the pseudo code is:

since the tax rates do not vary, we will declare them as constants:
const double STATE_SALES_TAX_RATE = 0.04 //copy initialization
const double CNTY_SALES_TAX_RATE(0.02) //direct initialization

declare variable to hold the purchase amount:
double purchase

store amount of purchase:
purchase = 95.00

declare three variables to store the sales tax values
double stateSalesTax, cntySalesTax, totalSalesTax

compute amounts for sales taxes and store in memory:
stateSalesTax = STATE_SALES_TAX_RATE * purchase
cntySalesTax = CNTY_SALES_TAX_RATE * purchase
totalSalesTax = stateSalesTax + cntySalesTax

display results ...

Answer 1

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  
const double STATE_SALES_TAX_RATE = 0.04; //copy initialization
const double CNTY_SALES_TAX_RATE(0.02); //direct initialization

//declare variable to hold the purchase amount:
double purchase;

//store amount of purchase:
purchase = 95.00;

//declare three variables to store the sales tax values
double stateSalesTax, cntySalesTax, totalSalesTax;

//compute amounts for sales taxes and store in memory:
stateSalesTax = STATE_SALES_TAX_RATE * purchase;
cntySalesTax = CNTY_SALES_TAX_RATE * purchase;
totalSalesTax = stateSalesTax + cntySalesTax;

//displaying the result
cout<<"State Sales Tax is : "<<stateSalesTax<<", Country Sales Tax is : "<<cntySalesTax<<" and Total Sales Tax is : "<<totalSalesTax<<"\n";
return 0;
}

written the code in cpp, please let me know if anything is required.
