Question

A painting company has determined that for every 112 square feet of wall space, one gallon of paint and eight hours of labor will be required. The company charges $35.00 per hour for labor. Write a program that asks the user to enter the square feet of wall space to be painted and the price of the paint per gallon. Use a function (or multiple functions if you want) to calculate the following values - you also need to output these values: The number of gallons of paint required The hours of labor required The cost of the paint The labor charges The total cost of the paint job use new variable please-C++.

Answer 1

C++ Program:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

void calculateanddisplay(float sqft,float paintprice){
float noofblocks=sqft/112;
float hoursOfLabour=noofblocks*8;
//Since each block requires 1 gallon of paint
float paintcost=noofblocks * paintprice;
float labourCharges=hoursOfLabour * 35;
cout<<"Number of gallons of paint required: "<<noofblocks;
cout<<"\nHours of labour required: "<<hoursOfLabour;
cout<<"\nCost of the paint: "<<paintcost;
cout<<"\nLabour charges: $"<<labourCharges;
cout<<"\nTotal cost of the paint job: "<<paintcost+labourCharges;
}

int main(){
float sqft,paintprice;
cout<<"Enter the square feet of wall space to be painted: ";
cin>>sqft;
cout<<"Enter the price of paint per gallon: ";
cin>>paintprice;
calculateanddisplay(sqft,paintprice);
return 0;
}

Output:
