A programmer notices that the following code snippet uses the same algorithm for computing cost after taxes, but with different variables, in the two places as shown below, and in several other places in the program. What could be done to improve the program? final double TAXRATE1 = 10; final double TAXRATE2 = 5.5; double subtotal = price * (1 + TAXRATE1) / 100; double total = subtotal + shipping * (1 + TAXRATE2) / 100; Declare the tax rates as variables, not constants. Define a method that looks up tax rates for goods and shipping charges. Define a method that computes the cost after taxes from arguments for the cost before taxes and the tax rate. Define a method that prompts the user for an amount and a tax rate, then returns the total amount including the tax.
