Question

Global Courier Services will ship your package based

on how much it weighs and how far you are sending the package. (visual studio or dev c)

You need to write a design tool and a program in C that calculates

the shipping charge based on weight and distance and the total cost.

The shipping rates are as follows:

BASED ON WEIGHT

Charge 10 dollars for all package weighing 10 pounds or less

Charge an additional 2 dollars per pound for each pound

above 10 (make sure you charge the first 10 dollars)

For example if the weight is 2 pounds then the cost based on

weight is 10 dollars

For example if the weight is 55 pounds then the cost based

on weight is 10 for the first 10 pounds and 80 dollars for

the extra weight.

BASED ON DISTANCE

Charge 5 dollars for each 500 miles or part thereof.

For example if the distance is 1 foot then the cost based

on distance is 5 dollars.

For example if the distance is 1300 miles then the cost

based on distance is 15 dollars (3 500 segments) based on

per 500 miles shipped.

Answer 1

Answer: Hi!! Kindly find your solution below. Let me know if any issue. Thanks.

This program is designed in C language. Calculations is made based on your given statements in questions. The program is working well. It is taking necessary inputs and output as well. Calculations may differ. Some statements were confusing. If you want any changes please feel free to ask me. I'll modify this program.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{

//variable declarations
int weight,distance,q;
double cost_weight,cost_distance,total_cost;

printf("**Welcome to Global Courier Service**");
printf("\nEnter package weight in pounds:");
scanf("%d",&weight); //takes input weight of package
if(weight<=10) //check weight to determine cost
{
cost_weight = 10;
}
else
if(weight>10)
{
weight = weight-10;
cost_weight = 10;
cost_weight = cost_weight+weight*12+80; //additional charges
}
printf("\nEnter distance :");
scanf("%d",&distance); //takes input distance

//calculate cost based on distance

int r = distance % 500;
q = distance/500;

if(r==0)
{
cost_distance = q*5;
}
else
{
q=q+1;
cost_distance = q*5;
}

//print costs

printf("\nCost based on weight is: $%.2f",cost_weight);

printf("\nCost based on distance is: $%.2f",cost_distance);
printf("\nTotal cost is: $%.2f",cost_weight+cost_distance);
return 0;
}

Enter package weight in pounds:55 Enter distance :1300 Cost based on weight is: $630.00 Cost based on distance is: $15.00 Total cost is: $645.00
