A metric ton is 35,273.92 ounces. Write a

Weight of breakfast package
Program Plan:
- Include required header files.
- Initializes “const” variable “OUNCES_PER_METRICTON” to “35273.92”.
- Define main function,
- Declare three variables in “double” datatype.
- Declare a “char” variable for user option.
- Then performs “do-while” loop.
- Prompt statement for read the weight of packages in ounces.
- Read the weight of packages from user.
- Compute the weight in metric tons using “ounces/OUNCES_PER_METRICTON” and then store it in a variable “weightMetricTon”.
- Compute the number of boxes required to produce “1” metric ton using “OUNCES_PER_METRICTON/ounces” and then store it in a variable “no_of_boxes”.
- Display the weight in metric tons and number of boxes.
- Prompt statement for read the user option to continue the calculation.
- Read the user option.
- Check the user option using “while” loop. If the user entered option is equal to “y” or “Y” then continue the above process.
- Otherwise, the program terminated.
The below program is used to compute the weight of package of breakfast cereal in metric tons and number of boxes from the given weight of package in ounces
Explanation of Solution
Program:
//Header file
#include <iostream>
//For standard input and output
using namespace std;
/* Initializes the const variable "OUNCES_PER_METRICTON" to "35273.92" */
const double OUNCES_PER_METRICTON = 35273.92;
//Define main function
int main()
{
//Declare variables in type of "double"
double ounces, weightMetricTon, no_of_boxes;
//Declare variable in type of "char"
char option;
//Check the condition using "do-while" loop
do
{
/* Prompt statement for read the weight of package in ounces */
cout << "Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces: ";
//Read the weight in ounces from user
cin>>ounces;
//Compute the given weight in metric ton
weightMetricTon = ounces/OUNCES_PER_METRICTON;
/* Compute the number of boxes required to produce "1" metric ton */
no_of_boxes = OUNCES_PER_METRICTON/ounces;
//Display the weight in metric tons
cout << "Weight of packets in metric tons: " << weightMetricTon << endl;
//Display the number of boxes
cout << "Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: " << no_of_boxes << endl;
//Prompt statement for asking the user choice
cout << "Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate: ";
//Read option from user
cin >> option;
}
/* If the user entered option is "y" or "Y", then continue the above process. Otherwise program terminated */
while (option == 'y' || option == 'Y');
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces: 4000
Weight of packets in metric tons: 0.113398
Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: 8.81848
Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate: y
Enter the weight of package of breakfast cereal in ounces: 4820
Weight of packets in metric tons: 0.136645
Number of boxes needed to yield 1 metric ton of cereal: 7.31824
Enter 'y' or 'Y' to continue (OR) Enter any character to terminate: n

- Complete the JavaScript function addPixels () to calculate the sum of pixelAmount and the given element's cssProperty value, and return the new "px" value. Ex: If helloElem's width is 150px, then calling addPixels (hello Elem, "width", 50) should return 150px + 50px = "200px".
