Answer to Question #99402 in C++ for Caleb

Question

The cost to ship a package is a flat fee of 75 cents plus 25 cents per pound.
1. Declare a const named CENTS_PER_POUND and initialize with 25.
2. Get the shipping weight from user input storing the weight into shipWeightPounds.
3. Using FLAT_FEE_CENTS and CENTS_PER_POUND constants, assign shipCostCents with the cost of shipping a package weighing shipWeightPounds.

Answer 1

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;
    const int FLAT_FEE_CENTS = 75;
    std::cout << "Enter the shipping weight:\n";
    int shipWeightPounds;
    std::cin >> shipWeightPounds;

    int shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + CENTS_PER_POUND * shipWeightPounds;
    std::cout << "Cost of shipping a package: " << shipCostCents;
}
