Answer 1

#include <iostream>


double tax(double price)
{
	return price * 0.005;
}
double new_tax(double price)
{
	return price * 0.25;
}


int main()
{
	std::string name, password;
	std::cout << "Enter your name: ";
	std::cin >> name;
	std::cout << "Enter your password: ";
	std::cin >> password;


	double taxes = 0.0;
	for (std::size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
	{
		double price = rand();
		taxes += tax(price);
	}
	double new_taxes = 0.0;
	for (std::size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
	{
		double price = rand();
		new_taxes += new_tax(price);
	}
	std::cout << "Tax 0.5% from 10 purchases will bring about: " << taxes << std::endl;
	std::cout << "Tax 25% from 10 purchases will bring about: " << new_taxes << std::endl;
	//this will bring the ability to agency to compare the taxes on goods imported.
	return 0;
}
