The Daily Gazette accepts classified ads in several categories. For most ads, the newspaper charges 10 cents per word for the first 50 words, and 8 cents per word for every word after that. Design Visual Logic Flowchart for a program that accepts data about an ad: customer name, ad category (for example, Apartment for rent), and number of words. Display all the input data and the price for the ad.
To design a Visual Logic flowchart for the program that accepts data about an ad and displays the input data along with the price, follow these steps:
1. Start: Begin the flowchart.
2. Input: Prompt the user to enter the customer name, ad category, and number of words.
3. Calculate: Calculate the price for the ad based on the given criteria.
- Set a variable for the number of words to 0.
- If the number of words is less than or equal to 50, multiply the number of words by 0.10 (10 cents per word).
- If the number of words is greater than 50, calculate the price for the first 50 words by multiplying them by 0.10 and for the remaining words (number of words - 50), multiply them by 0.08 (8 cents per word). Then, add the prices of both sections.
- Store the calculated price in a variable.
4. Output: Display the customer name, ad category, number of words, and price.
5. Stop: End the flowchart.
Here is the visual representation of the flowchart:

This flowchart should help you create a program that accepts the necessary data and displays the input data along with the calculated price for the ad.
