Question

Malcolm Movers charges a base rate of $200 per move plus $150 per hour and $2 per mile. Write a program named MoveEstimator that prompts a user for and accepts estimates for the number of hours for a job and the number of miles involved in the move and displays the total moving fee. For example, if 25 hours and 55 miles are input the output would be displayed as: For a move taking 25 hours and going 55 miles the estimate is $4,060.00

Answer 1

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MoveEstimator

{

public static void main(String[] args) {

   

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    final int BASE_RATE = 200, RATE_PER_HOUR = 150, RATE_PER_MILE = 2;

    int hours, miles;

    double totalFee = 0.0;

   

 System.out.print("Enter the number of hours for a job: ");

 hours = input.nextInt();

 System.out.print("Enter the number of miles: ");

 miles = input.nextInt();

 

 totalFee = BASE_RATE + (hours * RATE_PER_HOUR) + (miles * RATE_PER_MILE);

 System.out.printf("For a move taking %d hours and going %d miles the estimate is $%.2f", hours, miles, totalFee);

}

}

Explanation:

*The code is in Java.

Create the Scanner object to be able to get input

Initialize the constant values using final keyword, BASE_RATE, RATE_PER_HOUR, RATE_PER_MILE

Declare the variables, hours, miles, totalFee

Ask the user to enter the hours and miles

Calculate the totalFee, add BASE_RATE, multiplication of  hours and RATE_PER_HOUR, multiplication of  miles and RATE_PER_MILE

Print the output as in required format
