Question

Each of the following Programming Challenges can be solved by a program that performs three basic tasks—Input Data, Process Data, and Output Results. For each problem, use pseudocode to design a suitable program to solve it. Be sure to identify the data type of each variable used.

The manager of the Super Supermarket would like to be able to compute the unit price for products sold there. To do this, the program should input the name and price of an item per pound and its weight in pounds and ounces. Then it should determine and display the unit price (the price per ounce) of that item and the total cost of the amount purchased. You will need the following variables:

       ItemName      Pounds        Ounces
       PoundPrice    TotalPrice    UnitPrice

You will need the following formulas:

       UnitPrice = PoundPrice/16
       TotalPrice = PoundPrice * (Pounds + Ounces/16)

Answer 1

Pseudocode

   START

       DECLARE STRING ItemName
       DECLARE INTEGER Pounds
       DECLARE INTEGER Ounces
       DECLARE FLOAT PoundPrice
       DECLARE FLOAT TotalPrice
       DECLARE FLOAT UnitPrice

       INPUT ItemName
       INPUT Pounds
       INPUT Ounces
       INPUT PoundPrice

       UnitPrice = PoundPrice / 16
       TotalPrice = PoundPrice * (Pounds + Ounces/16)

       PRINT "Unit Price: " + UnitPrice
       PRINT "Total Price: " + TotalPrice

   END
