- Box Office: A movie theater only keeps a percentage (20%) of the revenue earned from ticket sales. The remainder goes to the movie distributor. Write a program that calculates a theater’s gross and net box office profit for a night. The program should ask for the name of the movie, and how many adult and child tickets were sold. (The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 and a child’s ticket is $6.00.) Input: the name of the movie, number of adult tickets sold, number of child tickets sold Output: as specified below Object: cin, cout, getline, format output Note: 1. Movie names contain spaces 2, the report is aligned. 3. The decimal number is displayed with 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardFinancial application: compute future apartment rent) Suppose that the rent for an apartment is $1000 thisyear and increases 3% every year. Write a program that computes the rent in five years and the total rent forone year starting five years from now.arrow_forwardA car’s miles-per-gallon (MPG) can be calculated with the following formula:MPG 5 Miles driven Gallons of gas usedWrite a program that asks the user for the number of miles driven and the gallons of gas used. It should calculate the car’s MPG and display the result.arrow_forward
- Average acceleration is defined as the change of velocity divided by the time taken to make the change, as shown in the following formula: a = ( v1 - v0 ) / t Write a program that prompts the user to enter the starting velocity in meters/second, the ending velocity in meters/second, and the time span t inseconds, and displays the average acceleration.arrow_forwardAnswer this question Write a program that calculates and displays a person’s body mass index (BMI). The BMI is often used to determine whether a person with a sedentary lifestyle is overweight or underweight for his or her height. A person’s BMI is calculated with the following formula:BMI = weight × 703 / height2where weight is measured in pounds and height is measured in inches. The program should display a message indicating whether the person has optimal weight, is underweight, or is overweight. A sedentary person’s weight is considered to be optimal if his or her BMI is between 18.5 and 25. If the BMI is less than 18.5, the person is considered to be underweight. If the BMI value is greater than 25, the person is considered to be overweightarrow_forwardAn online book club awards points to its customers based on the number of books purchased each month. Points are awarded as follows: Books Purchased Points Earned 1 5 2 15 3 30 4 or more 60 Write a program that asks the user to enter the number of books purchased this month and then displays the number of points awarded.arrow_forward
- Miles per Gallon A car holds 15 gallons of gasoline and can travel 375 miles before refueling. Write a program that calculates the number of miles per gallon (MPG) the car gets. Display the result on the screen.arrow_forwardA retail store grants its customers a maximum amount of credit. Each customer’s available credit is his or her maximum amount of credit minus the amount of credit used. Write a program that asks for a customer’s maximum amount of credit and then asks for the amount of credit used. The program should then properly display the customer’s available credit.arrow_forwardThe volume of any cylinder can be calculated using the following formula: volume = π * radius2 * height Write a program which asks the user to enter the radius and height of a cylinder. If the radius and the height are both greater than 0, calculate the volume of the cylinder and print "value is the volume of the cylinder" where value is the calculated volume of the cylinder. Otherwise, print "The radius and height of a cylinder must both be positive values." Remember to include a comment at the start of the program. (Hint: The value of π is approx. 3.1416)arrow_forward
- Microwaves / Radio Waves If a scientist knows the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave she can determine what type of radiation it is. Write a program that asks for the wavelength in meters of an electromagnetic wave and then displays what that wave is according to the following chart. (For example, a wave with a wavelength of 1E-10 meters would be an X-ray.) 1x 10-11 1 x 10-8 4 x 10-7 7x 10-7 1x 10-3 1 x 10-2 Gamma Rays. X Rays Ultraviolet Visible Light Infraredarrow_forwardThe following table shows the approximate speed of sound in air, water, and steel:Write a program that asks the user to enter “air”, “water”, or “steel”and thedistance that a sound wave will travel in the medium. The program should thendisplay the amount of time it will take. You can calculate the amount of time ittakes sound to travel in air with the following formula: Time = Distance / 1,100You can calculate the amount of time it takes sound to travel in water with the following formula:Time = Distance / 4,900You can calculate the amount of time it takes sound to travel in steel with the follow- ingformula:Time = Distance / 16,400arrow_forwardIf you know the balance and the annual percentage interest rate, you can compute the interest on the next monthly payment using the following formula: interest = balance * (annualInterestRate / 1200) Write a program that reads the balance and the annual percentage interest rate and displays the interest for the next month.arrow_forward
