The average cost of a college textbook is $125. There is a premium of 20% on hardcover text and a discount of 5% on sales of more than 4 textbooks. Write a program to prompt the user for the appropriate inputs and compute and display the before-tax cost of the textbooks. Sample calculation: price of 10 hardcover text = 10 * 125 + premium –discount price = 1250 + 20% of 1250 – 5% of 1250 price = $1437.50 price of 8 softcover text = 8 * 125 –discount price = 1000 – 5% of 1000 price = $950 price of 2 softcover text = 2 * 125 price = $250
