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.
#include
using namespace std;
int main() {
int shipWeightPounds;
int shipCostCents = 0;
const int FLAT_FEE_CENTS = 75;
/* Your solution goes here */
cout << "Weight(lb): " << shipWeightPounds;
cout << ", Flat fee(cents): " << FLAT_FEE_CENTS;
cout << ", Cents per lb: " << CENTS_PER_POUND;
cout << ", Shipping cost(cents): " << shipCostCents << endl;
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Answer:

The following alterations are done to the program

1. Replace /* Your solution goes here */ with

const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;

cout<<"Ship Weight Pounds: ";

cin>>shipWeightPounds;

2. Include

shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + CENTS_PER_POUND * shipWeightPounds;

after

cout << ", Cents per lb: " << CENTS_PER_POUND;

Explanation:

See attachment for complete program as it should be ordered

This line declares CENTS_PER_POUND as a constant integer and it also initializes the variable to 25

const int CENTS_PER_POUND = 25;

This prompts the user for the weight of the shipping items (in pounds)

cout<<"Ship Weight Pounds: ";

This gets user input for  the weight of the shipping item

cin>>shipWeightPounds;

.............................

........

...

This calculates the cost of shipping the item

shipCostCents = FLAT_FEE_CENTS + CENTS_PER_POUND * shipWeightPounds;
