Assume the input to be the charge for the food, draw a flowchart that will compute the total amount of a meal purchased at a restaurant. The output should be the charge for the food, the amount of a 15 percent tip, the amount of the 7 percent sales tax (on the charge for the food), and the total.
Draw a flowchart and write pseudocode to represent the logic of a program that allows the user to enter values for a salesperson’s base salary, total sales, and commission rate. The program computes and outputs the salesperson’s pay by adding the base salary to the product of the total sales and commission rate.
To compute the total amount of a meal purchased at a restaurant, including the charge for the food, the tip, the sales tax, and the total amount, you can create a flowchart with the following steps:
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Input the charge for the food
Step 3: Calculate the amount of the tip (15% of the charge for the food)
- Multiply the charge for the food by 0.15 to obtain the tip amount
Step 4: Calculate the amount of the sales tax (7% of the charge for the food)
- Multiply the charge for the food by 0.07 to obtain the sales tax amount
Step 5: Calculate the total amount
- Add the charge for the food, amount of tip, and amount of sales tax
Step 6: Output the charge for the food, amount of tip, amount of sales tax, and the total amount
Step 7: Stop
Here's the visual representation of the flowchart:
```
