Question

The local t-shirt shop sells shirts that retail for $14.99. Quantity discounts are given as follow:

Number of Shirts Discount
< 10 0%
11-20 10%
21-50 15%
51 or more 20%


Write  a program that prompts the  user  for the  number of shirts  required and then computes the total price. Make sure the program accepts only nonnegative input.

  • You must use a constant to represent price of the shirt
  • You must use the correct data types for your constants and variables
  • You must validate your input.  
    • Do not allow negative number of shirts. This should display a warning
  • You must use one or more if/else branches for your decisions
    • You must also use a logical operator at least once to check the ranges.
  • Your output should be formatted correctly
    • Prices should have two decimal places
    • Percents should have one decimal place
Expert Solution
Step 1: Algorithm :

Algorithm: Calculate Total Price with Quantity Discounts for T-Shirts

Constants:
- SHIRT_PRICE = 14.99
- DISCOUNT_RANGES = [(0, 10, 0), (11, 20, 0.10), (21, 50, 0.15), (51, ∞, 0.20)]

Input:
- num_shirts (integer)

Output:
- discount_percent (float)
- total_price (float)

Procedure:
1. Display "Enter the number of shirts you want to purchase: ".
2. Read num_shirts from the user.
3. While True:
     a. If num_shirts < 0:
         i. Display "Please enter a non-negative number of shirts."
         ii. Go back to step 1.
     b. If num_shirts is not an integer:
         i. Display "Invalid input. Please enter a non-negative integer."
         ii. Go back to step 1.
     c. Otherwise, break the loop.
4. total_price = SHIRT_PRICE * num_shirts
5. For each range (min_quantity, max_quantity, discount) in DISCOUNT_RANGES:
     a. If min_quantity <= num_shirts <= max_quantity:
         i. discount_percent = discount * 100
         ii. total_price = total_price * (1 - discount)
         iii. Break the loop.
6. If no discount range matched, set discount_percent to 0.
7. Display "Number of Shirts: num_shirts".
8. Display "Discount Applied: discount_percent with one decimal place%".
9. Display "Total Price: total_price with two decimal places".
