Question

*must be in C programming*

Scenario:

My friend Steve wants to buy something nice for himself. He doesn't know want he wants yet but he is thinking of spending $1,000 on it or more. He makes $500 a month and has a monthly living expense of $325. He also has a lot of bi-monthly subscription payments which costs him $450 every other month ($450 is the bimonthly expenses) . He wants to know when he will be able to buy want he wants and still be able to pay his bills. He can work normal hours or work overtime and earn an extra $150 a month. Other things to consider are the tax rate (which is seven percent) and the amount of money he already has.

Answer 1

If you have any doubts about the program feel free to comment.

Program

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
int reqMoney = 1000;//savings required
int income = 500;//actual monthly income
int monthlyExp = 325;//monthly expense
int biMonthly = 450;//expense after every other month
int totalMonthlyExp = monthlyExp + (biMonthly/2);//calculating total monthly expense
int overtime = 150;// overtime rate
int overIncome = overtime + income;//monthly income including overtime
double taxRate = overIncome*0.07;//tax rate

int alreadyHas;

printf("Enter the amount you have already: $");
scanf("%d", &alreadyHas);//taking user input for amount already has

int months =0;
int temp = alreadyHas;
while(temp < reqMoney){
//calculating monthly saving and adding it ti alreadyHas
temp += overIncome - (totalMonthlyExp + taxRate);
months++;//counting months
}
printf("It will take %d months to get $1000 if he overtimes\n", months);//displaying result
}

Output
