Answer to Question #238540 in C++ for Eric

Question

At the peak of COVID-19, most worker started working from home. Salaries of workers were reduced by 30%. Assuming income tax was also reduced by 50% from the previous rate of 15% and workers were paid on the number of hours worked in a month and each worker is supposed to work a total of 170 hours in a month. All overtime has been cancelled. If a worker does not meet the 170 hours’ threshold for a month, 5% is deducted from the salary. Assuming the hourly rate is GHC 10, Write a c++ program for the scenario narrated above. Your program should:

a) request for an employee’s name, the number of hours worked in a

month

b) define a function called payRole, your function should compute a

worker’s salary and income tax and any deductions if any

c) your program should display the results in “b” above.

d) explain the logic behind the code especially the function

Answer 1

#include <iostream>


using namespace std;
double payRole(int hrs){
    double salary=(10*hrs);
    if (hrs<170){
        salary=salary-(0.05*salary);
    }
    return salary;
}
int main()
{
    //a) request for an employee’s name, the number of hours worked in a month
    cout<<"\nEnter name: ";
    string name;
    cin>>name;
    cout<<"\nEnter the number of hours worked in a month: ";
    int hours;
    cin>>hours;
    
    double salary=payRole(hours);
    cout<<"\nSalary= "<<salary;
    return 0;
}
