Question

The cost to ship a package is a flat fee of 75 cents plus 25 cents per pound. 1. Declare a const named CENTS_PER_POUND and initialize with 25. 2. Get the shipping weight from user input storing the weight into shipWeightPounds. 3. Using FLAT_FEE_CENTS and CENTS_PER_POUND constants, assign shipCostCents with the cost of shipping a package weighing shipWeightPounds.
#include
using namespace std;

int main() {
int shipWeightPounds;
int shipCostCents = 0;
const int FLAT_FEE_CENTS = 75;

/* Your solution goes here */

cout << "Weight(lb): " << shipWeightPounds;
cout << ", Flat fee(cents): " << FLAT_FEE_CENTS;
cout << ", Cents per lb: " << CENTS_PER_POUND;
cout << ", Shipping cost(cents): " << shipCostCents << endl;

return 0;
}

Answer 1

Answer:

Replace /* Your solution goes here */

with

const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;

cout << "Weight(lb): ";

cin >> shipWeightPounds;

shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + CENTS_PER_POUND * shipWeightPounds;

Explanation:

This line declares and initializes CENTS_PER_POUND as constant integer to 25

const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;

This line prompts user for weight of shipment

cout << "Weight(lb): ";

This line gets weight from the user

cin >> shipWeightPounds;

This line calculates the cost of shipment

shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + CENTS_PER_POUND * shipWeightPounds;
