Question

Create a program that calculates the tip and total for a meal at a restaurant. Type the code into an IDLE IDE editor window and save the finished code as a .py source code file. Remember that the text output from the IDLE shell window will be saved to a Word document.

Answer 1

Missing details:

The formula for calculating the tip amount is:

tip = cost of meal * (tip percent / 100)

• The program should accept decimal entries like 52.31 and 15.5.

• Assume the user will enter valid data.

• The program should round the results to a maximum of two decimal places.

Answer:

In Python:

print("Tip Calculator")

cost_meal =  float(input("Enter Cost of Meal: "))

tip_percent = float(input("Enter Tip Percent: "))

tip_amount = cost_meal * tip_percent / 100

total_amount = tip_amount + cost_meal

print("Tip amount:   "+str(round(tip_amount,2)))

print("Total amount:   "+str(round(total_amount,2)))  

Explanation:

This line prints the string "Tip "Calculator"

print("Tip Calculator")

This lime prompts user for cost of meal

cost_meal =  float(input("Enter Cost of Meal: "))

This lime prompts user for tip percemtage

tip_percent = float(input("Enter Tip Percent: "))

This line calculates the tip amount

tip_amount = cost_meal * tip_percent / 100

This line calculates the total amount

total_amount = tip_amount + cost_meal

This line prints the tip amount

print("Tip amount:   "+str(round(tip_amount,2)))

This line prints the total amount

print("Total amount:   "+str(round(total_amount,2)))
