#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void calculateCost(int count, float& subTotal, float taxCost)

{

      if ( count < 10)

      {

                  subTotal = count * 0.50;

      }

      else

      {

                  subTotal = count * 0.20;

      }

      taxCost = 0.1 * subTotal;

}



int main()
{
    float tax = 0.0,
    
    subtotal = 0.0;
    
    calculateCost(15, subtotal,tax);
    
    cout << "The cost for 15 items is " << subtotal

      << ", and the tax for " << subtotal << " is " << tax << endl;
    return 0;
