Answer 1

Dear Student ,

As per requirement submitted above kindly find below solution.

Here new python program with name "rental.py" is created which contains below code.

rental.py:

import sys #import module
#asking user rental ,upper() function in python used to convert user input to upper case
rentalcode = input("(B)udget, (D)aily, or (W)eekly rental?\n").upper()
if rentalcode == 'B' or rentalcode == 'D': #cheking rental code using if statemnet
#if rental code is B then asking user rented days
rentalperiod = int(input("Number of Days Rented:\n"))
else:
#If rented code is either D or W then asking user weeks rented
rentalperiod = int(input("Number of Weeks Rented:\n"))

# declaring variable to set Pricing
budget_charge = 40.00 #this variable store budget charge
daily_charge = 60.00 #this variable store daly charge
weekly_charge = 190.00 #this variable store weekly charge

#Second Section 2
odostart =int(input("Starting Odometer Reading:\n")) #asking user starting odometer reading
odoend =int(input("Ending Odometer Reading:\n")) #asking user ending odometer reading
#total miles can be found by subtraction odometerending reading from starting reading
totalmiles = int(odoend) - int(odostart)

#checking rentalCode
extramiles=0 #declaring variable
if rentalcode == 'B':#if rentalCode is B then calculate mile charge
milecharge = 0.25 * totalmiles
if rentalcode == "D": #if rentalCode is D then
averagedailymiles = int(totalmiles) /int(rentalperiod) #cakculate daily average miles
if averagedailymiles <= 100: #checking averagedailymiles
totalmiles = 0 #if averagedailymiles is less than or equal to 100 then set totalmiles
elif averagedailymiles > 100: #if averagedailymiles is greater than 100 then
extramiles = averagedailymiles - 100 #calculate extramiles
milecharge = .25 * extramiles #calculate mile charge
if rentalcode == "W" and averagedailymiles > 900: #checking rentalCode and averagedailymiles
milecharge = rentalperiod * 100 #if renatlCode=W and averagedailymiles is gretaer than 900 then calculate mile charge
elif rentalcode == "W" and averagedailymiles <= 900:
milecharge = 0 #if rentalCode is W and averagedailymiles is less than or equal to 0 then calculate mile charge

if rentalcode == "B":#if rentalCode is B then
basecharge = rentalperiod * budget_charge #calculate baseCharge
elif rentalcode == "D":#if rentalCode is D then
basecharge = rentalperiod * daily_charge #calculate baseCharge
elif rentalcode == "W": #if rentalCode is W then
basecharge = rentalperiod * weekly_charge #calculate baseCharge
amtdue = float(basecharge) +float(milecharge) #calculate amount due

print("Rental Summary") #print rental summary details
print("Rental Code:" + str(rentalcode)) #print rental code
print("Rental Period:" + str(rentalperiod)) #print rental period
print("Starting Odometer:" + str(odostart)) #print start odometer reading
print("Ending Odometer:" + str(odoend))#print end odometer reading
print("Miles Driven:" + str(totalmiles))#print total miles
print("Amount Due:"+"${:,.2f}".format(amtdue)) #print amount due
