Answer:

// read the number of gallons
cin>>no_gallon;
// if number of gallons are less or equal to 8000
if(no_gallon<=8000)

}
else

Explanation:
Ask user to enter the type of customer and assign it to variable "cust_t". If the customer type is business then read the number of gallons from user and assign it to variable "no_gallon". Then calculate cost of gallons, if gallons are less or equal to 800 then multiply it with 0.006.And if gallons are greater than 8000, cost for first 8000 will be multiply by 0.006 and for rest gallons multiply with 0.008.Similarly if customer type is residential then for first 8000 gallons cost will be multiply by 0.005 and for rest it will multiply by 0.007. Then print the cost.
Output:
Enter the type of customer(B for business or R for residential):b
please enter the number of gallons:9000
total cost is: $56
