pseudo code


Declare Integer quantity
Declare Real price
Declare Real totalExpenses
Declare Real discount


Display "Enter price of the item: "
Input price
Display "Enter the quantity of the item: "
Input quantity
Set totalExpenses = price * quantity
If totalExpenses >= 6000 Then
    Set discount = 0.15 * totalExpenses
Else
    If totalExpenses >= 5000 AND totalExpenses < 6000 Then
        Set discount = 0.12 * totalExpenses
    Else
        If totalExpenses >= 4000 AND totalExpenses < 5000 Then
            Set discount = 0.08 * totalExpenses
        Else
            Set discount = 0.03 * totalExpenses
        End If
    End If
End If
Set totalExpenses = totalExpenses - discount
Display "The total expenses: ", totalExpenses
