Draw a flowchart or write the pseudocode for an application that allows a user to enter price and computes 8 percent sales tax on the item. Use // declartions
Develop the logic for a program that will sum 10 numbers that have been entered by a user and displays the final sum to the user.
Sure! Here's the pseudocode for an application that calculates the sales tax on an item based on user input:
```
// Declarations
DECLARE price, taxAmount, totalAmount AS FLOAT
// Input
DISPLAY "Enter the price of the item:"
ACCEPT price
// Tax calculation
SET taxAmount = price * 0.08
// Total amount calculation
SET totalAmount = price + taxAmount
// Output
DISPLAY "The tax amount is:", taxAmount
DISPLAY "The total amount including tax is:", totalAmount
```
This pseudocode provides a step-by-step explanation of how to calculate the sales tax and total amount for an item.
To create a flowchart based on this pseudocode, you can use symbols and arrows to represent the flow of actions. Here's a basic example:
```
Start
↓
Input price
↓
Calculate taxAmount
↓
Calculate totalAmount
↓
Output taxAmount
↓
Output totalAmount
↓
End
```
This flowchart visually represents the logical flow of actions required to calculate the tax amount and total amount.
