You are writing a program for a bookstore that has a membership rewards program. This membership program has two versions: a free version and a paid version. Both free and paid members receive points when making purchases, and paid members also receive a 10% discount on their total order. Customers who are not a part of the membership program receive no rewards. Have your program run in a continuous while loop until the user decides to quit. Create a variable before the while loop called grand_total, initialized to 0. Each time a sale is entered, you will add the total to that variable. At the start of each loop iteration, the user has three options: Enter a new customer sale into the system. Ask how many books the customer is buying. Ask for the subtotal cost of the books, before tax. Ask whether the customer is a free member, paid member, or non-member. Calculate 9.25% of the subtotal cost to be the amount for taxes and add that amount to the subtotal to calculate the final cost. If the customer is a paid member, remove 10% of the subtotal cost from the final cost. (Note: The tax amount is not discounted) Add the final cost to the grand_total variable. Determine how many points the customer will receive for this purchase. If the customer is not a member, they receive 0 points. Otherwise, the number of points earned by the customer is based on the following list: If 1 book is purchased, all members earn 5 points. If 2 books are purchased, all members earn 15 points. If 3 books are purchased: Paid members earn 50 points Free members earn 30 points If 4 or more books are purchased Paid members earn 100 points Free members earn 60 points Display the following, one per row: # books the customer is purchasing, the subtotal, the tax amount, the final cost, the amount saved (only if they are a paid member, otherwise do not print this row), and po

Question

You are writing a program for a bookstore that has a membership rewards program. This membership program has two versions: a free version and a paid version. Both free and paid members receive points when making purchases, and paid members also receive a 10% discount on their total order. Customers who are not a part of the membership program receive no rewards.

Have your program run in a continuous while loop until the user decides to quit. Create a variable before the while loop called grand_total, initialized to 0. Each time a sale is entered, you will add the total to that variable. At the start of each loop iteration, the user has three options:

Enter a new customer sale into the system.
- Ask how many books the customer is buying.
- Ask for the subtotal cost of the books, before tax.
- Ask whether the customer is a free member, paid member, or non-member.
- Calculate 9.25% of the subtotal cost to be the amount for taxes and add that amount to the subtotal to calculate the final cost.
- If the customer is a paid member, remove 10% of the subtotal cost from the final cost. (Note: The tax amount is not discounted)
- Add the final cost to the grand_total variable.
- Determine how many points the customer will receive for this purchase. If the customer is not a member, they receive 0 points. Otherwise, the number of points earned by the customer is based on the following list:
  - If 1 book is purchased, all members earn 5 points.
  - If 2 books are purchased, all members earn 15 points.
  - If 3 books are purchased:
    - Paid members earn 50 points
    - Free members earn 30 points
  - If 4 or more books are purchased
    - Paid members earn 100 points
    - Free members earn 60 points
- Display the following, one per row: # books the customer is purchasing, the subtotal, the tax amount, the final cost, the amount saved (only if they are a paid member, otherwise do not print this row), and points received for this purchase. Make sure to format this information nicely.
See how much money the store has made today.
- Print out how much money the store has made today (by printing the grand_total variable)
Quit the program.
- Exit out of the while loop at this point. Before closing the program, print out how much money the store made today
