Car sales commission problem - For each used car a salesperson sells, the commission paid is as follows: $20 plus 30% of the selling price in excess of the cost of the car. Typically, the minimum selling price of the car is the cost of the car plus $200 and the maximum selling price is the cost of the car and $2,000. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the salesperson’s fixed commission, the percentage of the commission, the purchasing cost of the car, the minimum and the maximum amount to be added to the purchasing cost to determine the minimum and the maximum selling price, and outputs minimum and maximum selling price of the car and the salesperson's commission range. As a suggestion, pay particular attention to the formulas would your being requested. I would recommend that you perform the calculations on paper or in Excel prior to programming the solution.

If a scientist knows the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave she can determine what type of
radiation it is. Write a program that asks for the wavelength in meters of an electromagnetic
wave and then displays what that wave is according to the following chart. (For example, a
wave with a wavelength of 1E-10 meters would be an X-ray.)

- 4. During each summer, John and Jessica grow vegetables in their backyard and buy seeds and fertilizer from a local nursery. The nursery carries different types of vegetable fertilizers in various bag sizes. When buying a particular fertilizer, they want to know the price of the fertilizer per pound and the cost of fertilizing per square foot. The following program prompts the user to enter the size of the fertilizer bag, in pounds, the cost of the bag, and the area, in square feet, that can be covered by the bag. The program should output the desired result. However, the program contains logic errors. Find and correct the logic errors so that the program works properly. // Logic errors. #include #include using namespace std; int main() { double costs double area; double bagsize; cout > bagsize; cout > cost; cout > area; cout << endl; cout << "The cost of the fertilizer per pound is: $" << bagsize / cost << endl; cout << "The cost of fertilizing per square foot is: $" << area / cost << endl; return 0; }arrow_forwardFinancial application: compute future apartment rent) Suppose that the rent for an apartment is $1000 thisyear and increases 3% every year.

As part of her evaluation, she asks members for the number of fat grams and carbohydrate grams that they consumed in a day. Then, she calculates the number of calories that result from the fat, using the following formula: calories from fat = fat grams x 9. Next, she calculates the number of calories that result from the carbohydrates, using the following formula: calories from carbs = carb grams x 4 . Write a program that will make these calculations. Your program should use two separate functions to calculate fat and carb calories. Write a 3rd function that is called from main to capture user input and call the others.arrow_forward

If theamount deposited is P, the stated interest rate is r, and interest is compounded m timesper year, then the balance in the account after one year is P⋅(1+rm)m. For instance, if$1000 is deposited at 3% interest compounded quarterly (that is, 4 times per year), thenthe balance after one year is1000⋅(1+.034)4=1000⋅1.00754=$1,030.34.Interest rates with different compounding periods cannot be compared directly.The concept of APY (annual percentage yield) must be used to make the comparison. TheAPY for a stated interest rate r compounded m times per year is defined byAPY=(1+rm)m−1.(The APY is the simple interest rate that yields the same amount of interest after oneyear as the compounded annual rate of interest.)
