Answer to Question #330876 in C++ for Christine

Question

Jennifer Yardley is the owner of Golf Pro, a U.S. company that sells golf equipment both domestically and abroad.

She wants a program that displays the amount of a salesperson’s commission. A commission is a percentage of

the sales made by the salesperson. Some companies use a fixed rate to calculate the commission, while others (like

Golf Pro) use a rate that varies with the amount of sales.

Golf Pro’s commission schedule is shown below, along with examples of using the schedule to calculate the

commission on three different sales amounts. Notice that the commission for each range in the schedule is

calculated differently.

Sales range

Commission

0 - 100,000 2%

100,001 – 400,000 5% over 100,000 and then add 2000

400,001 and over 10% over 400,000 and then add 17000

If the sales is less than zero, the program should display the message “The sales cannot be less than 0.”

Answer 1

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	double amOfsales;
	double comission;
	cout << "Please, enter an amount of sales: ";
	cin>> amOfsales;
	if (amOfsales < 0)
		cout << "The sales cannot be less than 0.";
	else
	{
		if (amOfsales > 0 && amOfsales <= 100000)
		{
			comission = amOfsales*0.02;
			cout << "Salesperson’s commission is " << comission;
		}
		else if (amOfsales >= 100001 && amOfsales <= 400000)
		{
			comission = amOfsales*0.05+2000;
			cout << "Salesperson’s commission is " << comission;
		}
		else if (amOfsales >= 400001)
		{
			comission = amOfsales*0.1 + 17000;
			cout << "Salesperson’s commission is " << comission;
		}
	}
}
