(Program based on a 'Selection' and 'Loop' structures, Counters and Accumulators)

You have been tasked with updating a program for a automotive junk yard. They still want want to encourage their customers to make large purchases ($1000 or more) so the customer can get 15% off their order. Additionally, sales tax is 8% and they are no longer offering the 1% sales tax to customers over 70 years old. However, they still want to display a receipt showing the amount of purchase, the amount of the discount (if any), sales tax, and the total costs. At the end of the day, they want a summary displaying the total number of customers and the total amount of sales (includes the sales tax).

Requirements:

  • Flowchart must list ALL variables (constant and regular) first
  • Begin by asking the customer if they want to make a purchase (yes or no)?
  • Next, ask the customer for their purchase amount (if the previous response was a "yes")
  • At the end of the transaction, they want to provide the customer a receipt with the following information:
    • Initial amount of the order
    • Total amount of discount (if any)
    • The subtotal (initial order minus the discount)
    • The amount of sales tax
    • Total
    • Determine if there is another customer (yes or no)

Receipt Example:

(Based on 3 customers - for testing purposes only)
Order = $2000
Discount = $300
Sub Total = $1700
Sales Tax = $136
Total = $1836

Order = $200
Discount = $0
Sub Total = $200
Sales Tax = $16
Total = $216

Order = $1000
Discount = $150
Sub Total = $850
Sales Tax = $68
Total = $918
