Question

The program performs calculations and displays back information.

3. Sales Tax

Write a program that computes the total sales tax on a $95 purchase. Assume the state sales tax is 6.5 percent and the county sales tax is 2 percent. Display the purchase price, state tax, county tax, and total tax amounts on the screen.

Maintain variables for:

purchase amount. Initialize this variable to 95.

state sales tax amount (Not the sales tax percent). Use an assignment statement to compute value to be placed in this variable using C++ code.

county sales tax amount. Use an assignment statement to compute value to be placed in this variable using C++ code.

total tax amount. Use an assignment statement to compute value to be placed in this variable using C++ code.

Print out the variables. Do not worry about formatting variables.

Sample Output

Output from my version of the program is as follows.

Purchase Price   : 95
State Sales Tax : 6.175
County Sales Tax : 1.9
Total Tax        : 8.075
Final Price      : 103.075

3. Sales Tax

Write a program that computes the total sales tax on a $95 purchase. Assume the state sales tax is 6.5 percent and the county sales tax is 2 percent. Display the purchase price, state tax, county tax, and total tax amounts on the screen.

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
double purchaseAmount = 95;
double stateSalesTax = 6.175;
double countrySales = 1.9;
double totalTax = (purchaseAmount*stateSalesTax+purchaseAmount*countrySales)/100;
double finalPrice = purchaseAmount + totalTax;
cout << "Purchase Price: "<< purchaseAmount<< endl;
cout << "State Sales Tax: "<< stateSalesTax<< endl;
cout << "Country Sales Tax: "<< countrySales<< endl;
cout << "Total Tax: "<< totalTax<< endl;
cout << "Final Price: "<< finalPrice<< endl;
return 0;
}

output:
