Design a program in pseudocode that calculates the amount of money a person would earn over a period of time if their salary is one penny the first day, and then doubles each day. The program should ask the user for the number of days. Display what the salary was for each day, and then show the total pay for the end of the period. The output should be displayed in dollar amount, not number of pennies. I WANT PSEUDOCODE JUST BASIC STUFF
Write a program in pseudocode format: 1. Robert has a van rental company, and he wants a program that determines the total cost of renting a van from him. His customers will pay a base fee (currently set at $50), plus a charge per mile (currently $.25 a mile). 2. Carly gets paid annually, and she would like a program that will figure out the amount of money she will be receiving each pay period. To make this simpler, we are not worried about any deductions. 3. Chad is taking a trip from Minnesota to Georgia. He filled up his care before leaving. After driving 550 miles, he stopped at a gas station to refuel – the gas tank required 17 gallons. Chad would like a program that calculates his gas mileage (number of miles his car can be driven on a gallon of gas).
Sure! Here's a pseudocode example that calculates the amount of money a person would earn over a period of time with the given conditions:
```
1. Start
2. Initialize variables:
- total_pay = 0
- salary = 0.01
3. Ask the user to enter the number of days: (store it in a variable named "num_days")
4. Loop for each day from 1 to num_days:
5. Display the salary for the current day
6. Add the salary for the current day to the total pay
7. Double the value of salary for the next day
8. Convert total_pay to dollars: (total_pay = total_pay / 100)
9. Display the total pay in dollars
10. End
```
In this pseudocode, we initialize `total_pay` and `salary` to zero. The program then prompts the user to enter the number of days and store it in the variable `num_days`.
Next, we enter a loop that iterates from day 1 to the specified `num_days`. Inside the loop, we display the salary for the current day, add it to the `total_pay`, and then double the value of the `salary` for the next day.
Finally, we convert `total_pay` from pennies to dollars by dividing it by 100, and then display the final total pay in dollars.
Remember, pseudocode is not a real programming language, but rather a way to outline the logic of a program. You can then use this pseudocode as a guide to write the actual program in your preferred programming language.
