        Const PROFIT_PERCENT As Double = 0.15D
        'Read the the number of chicks
        Console.Write("Enter the the number of chicks: ")
        Dim numberChicks As Integer = Integer.Parse(Console.ReadLine())
        Dim spentMoney As Double = numberChicks * (FIXED_COST_PER_EGG + ELECTRICITY_COST)
        'calculate the sales price
        Dim salesPrice As Double = (spentMoney + spentMoney * PROFIT_PERCENT) / numberChicks
        'Display the sales price
        Console.WriteLine("The sales price: R" + salesPrice.ToString("N"))
