Value for hours are 6 16 40. Don’t ask user to input these values. Write Matlab code using if, elseif, else to determine total cost. Use variable names rentalHours and totalCost

Answer 1

clear all;

Hours=[6 16 40];

totalCost=0;

for i=1:length(Hours)

rentalHours=Hours(i)

if rentalHours<10

totalCost=(rentalHours*10)

elseif rentalHours>10 && rentalHours<20

totalCost=totalCost+(10*10);

totalCost=totalCost+((rentalHours-10)*8)

elseif rentalHours>20

totalCost=totalCost+(10*10);

totalCost=totalCost+(10*8);

totalCost=totalCost+((rentalHours-20)*7)

end

end

?Results:

rentalHours = 6

totalCost = 60

rentalHours = 16

totalCost = 208


rentalHours = 40


totalCost = 528
