apply a tax rate of 6.75% and a tip rate of 15% on the total amount after tax. The program should
display the meal cost, tax amount, tip amount, and total bill.
# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
double mealCharge = 44.50;
double taxRate = 0.0675;
double tipRate = 0.15;
double taxAmount = mealCharge * taxRate;
double totalWithTax = mealCharge + taxAmount;
double tipAmount = totalWithTax * tipRate;
double totalBill = totalWithTax + tipAmount;
cout << "Meal cost: $" << mealCharge << endl;
cout << "Tax amount: $" << taxAmount << endl;
cout << "Tip amount: $" << tipAmount << endl;
cout << "Total bill: $" << totalBill << endl;
return 0;
}
5. Average of Values
Problem Statement:
Write a program that stores the values 28, 32, 37, 24, and 33 in separate variables. It should
calculate and display the average of these values.
# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int val1 = 28, val2 = 32, val3 = 37, val4 = 24, val5 = 33;
double average = (val1 + val2 + val3 + val4 + val5) / 5.0;
cout << "The average of the values is " << average << endl;
return 0;
}
6. Annual Pay
Problem Statement:
An employee is paid every two weeks and earns $2,200 each pay period. In a year, the employee
receives 26 paychecks. Write a program to calculate and display the employee's total annual pay.
# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
double payAmount = 2200.0;
int payPeriods = 26;
double annualPay = payAmount * payPeriods;
cout << "The total annual pay is $" << annualPay << endl;
return 0;
}
7. Ocean Levels
Problem Statement:
Assume the ocean’s level is rising at a rate of 1.5 millimeters per year. Write a program that
calculates and displays the estimated ocean levels after 5, 7, and 10 years from now.
# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
double riseRate = 1.5;
cout << "In 5 years, ocean level will rise " << riseRate * 5 << " mm." << endl;
cout << "In 7 years, ocean level will rise " << riseRate * 7 << " mm." << endl;
cout << "In 10 years, ocean level will rise " << riseRate * 10 << " mm." << endl;
return 0;
}
8. Total Purchase
Problem Statement:
A customer is purchasing five items from a store. Write a program that prompts the user to enter
the price of each item. The program should then calculate the subtotal, add a 6% sales tax, and
display the subtotal, sales tax, and total purchase amount.
# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
double price1, price2, price3, price4, price5;
double salesTaxRate = 0.06;
cout << "Enter the price of 5 items: ";
cin >> price1 >> price2 >> price3 >> price4 >> price5;
double subtotal = price1 + price2 + price3 + price4 + price5;
double salesTax = subtotal * salesTaxRate;

cout << "Subtotal: $" << subtotal << endl;
cout << "Sales Tax: $" << salesTax << endl;

9. Celsius to Fahrenheit
Problem Statement:
Write a program that converts a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit. The program should

Fahrenheit using the formula:
[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times C + 32 ]
# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
double celsius, fahrenheit;
