Answer 1

Start
 Declare array bagPrices = { 50,45,40,30,20}
 Declare constant STANDARD = 0.05
 Declare constant THREE_DAY = 0.07
 Declare constant OVERNIGHT = 0.10
 Declare variable quantity
 Declare variable subTotalCost
 Declare variable selectedStyle
 Declare variable shippingCharge 
 Declare variable result
 Declare variable totalCost 
 Get selectedStyle from listbox
 Read quantity from the textbox
 Set subTotalCost = bagPrices[selectedStyle] * quantity
 Set shippingCharge = subTotalCost * STANDARD
 if ThreeDay Radiobutton is Selected then
 shippingCharge = subTotalCost * THREE_DAY
 End if
 if Overnight Radiobutton is Selected then
 shippingCharge = subTotalCost * OVERNIGHT
 End if
 Set totalCost = subTotalCost + shippingCharge
 Set result= "Subtotal cost: " + subTotalCost +
 "Quantity: " + quantity+
 "Shipping charge: " + shippingCharge+
 "Total cost: " + totalCost
 Display result
