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
Hi, I am a computer programmer and would be glad to assist you with this question. Do you have any ideas on how to get started? What programming language are you writing in?
Sure! Here's a pseudocode program that calculates the total cost of renting a van:
```
// Declare variables
DECLARE baseFee, chargePerMile, totalMiles, totalCost AS Float
// Set constant values
SET baseFee = 50
SET chargePerMile = 0.25
// Get input from the user
DISPLAY "Enter the total number of miles driven: "
ACCEPT totalMiles
// Calculate the total cost
SET totalCost = baseFee + (chargePerMile * totalMiles)
// Display the result
DISPLAY "The total cost of renting the van is: $" + totalCost
```
To implement this program, you would need to choose a programming language and then write the equivalent code based on the pseudocode given above. The pseudocode provides a step-by-step outline of the program logic without the specifics of a particular programming language.
