Chapter 2, Problem 8PP
You have just purchased a stereo system that cost $1,000 on the following credit plan: no down payment, an interest rate of 18% per year (and hence 1.5% per month), and monthly payments of $50. The monthly payment of $50 is used to pay the interest and whatever is left is used to pay part of the remaining debt. Hence, the first month you pay 1.5% of $1,000 in interest. That is $15 in interest. So, the remaining $35 is deducted from your debt, which leaves you with a debt of $965.00. The next month you pay interest of 1.5% of $965.00, which is $14.48. Hence, you can deduct $35.52 (which is $50 – $14.48) from the amount you owe. Write a

"You have been asked to create a guessing game with four players. The players will be asked to guess which word will be selected next and earn points for each correct guess."
The game works as follows:
First: At the start of the game:
Each of the four players is asked to enter their name and the amount of money they wish to bet on the game (only positive values less than $100 are allowed). The total of all four bets is the price money for the game.
•The players will be asked to select which set of words they wish to use for the game. The options are:
Fruit
Colors
Animals
Each set of words must have at least seven options (You may choose your own words for each set). Once the players select a set of words the computer will display the full list of options.
For example:
You have selected the Fruit word set. The possible words are: Apple, Orange, Banana, Kiwi, Strawberry, Grape, Cherry
Second: Each game will consist of seven rounds. Each round goes as follows:
Each player is…
Interest on a credit card’s unpaid balance is calculated using the average daily balance. Suppose that netBalance is the balance shown in the bill, payment is the payment made, d1 is the number of days in the billing cycle, and d2 is the number of days payment is made before billing cycle. Then, the average daily balance is:
averageDailyBalance =netBalance x d1-payment x d2d1
If the interest rate per month is, say, 0.0152, then the interest on the unpaid balance is:
Interest= averageDailyBalance * 0.0152
Write a program using c++ compiler that accepts as inputnetBalance, payment, d1,d2, and interest rate per month. The program outputs the interest. Format your output to two decimal places.
Installation of a Shopee Billboard
Max. score: 100
You are installing a billboard and want it to be at the maximum height. The billboard will have two steel supports, one on each side. The height of each steel bracket must be equal.
You have a number of rebar rods that can be welded together. For example, if the bars are of length 1, 2, and 3, they can be welded together to form a length of 6 brackets.
Return the maximum possible installation height of the billboard. Return 0 if the billboard cannot be installed.

- Scenario As you surely know, due to some astronomical reasons, years may be leap or common. The former are 366 days long, while the latter are 365 days long. Since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar (in 1582), the following rule is used to determine the kind of year: if the year number isn't divisible by four, it's a common year, otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 100, it's a leap year. otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 400, it's a common year. otherwise, it's a leap year. none of the above year int(input("enter the year")) if (year%4 1-0) and (year%400 -0) or (year % 1000): print (year is common year") else: print(year, is leap year") year= int(input ("enter the year")) if (years !-0) or (year480 1-0) and (year % 1001-0): print(year is common year") else: print(year, "is leap year") D year= int(input("enter the year"))arrow_forwardA flight of stairs has 10 steps numbered 1 to 10 as shown in the figure below. i.

There are four filing statuses: single filers, married filing jointly, married filing separately, and head of household. The tax rates vary every year. Table 4.2 shows the rates for 2009. If you are, say, single with a taxable income of $10,000, the first $8,350 is taxed at 10% and the other $1,650 is taxed at 15%. So, your tax is $1,082.50.

A type of loan is the discount installment loan. This type of loan has the following characteristics. Supposing a loan has face value of GHC 1000, interest is 13% and the duration is 24 months. The interest is compounded by multiplying the face value by 0.13 to produce GHC 130. The figure (130) is then multiplied by the loan period of 2 years to give GHC 260 as the total interest owed. This amount is immediately deducted from the face value leaving the customer with only GHC 740. Repayment is then made in monthly equal installments based on the face value. This means that the monthly payment will be GHC 1000 divided by 24 which is approximately 41.67. This method of calculating the monthly repayment is not too bad if the consumer needs only GHC 760 but the calculation is a bit complicated if the consumer needs GHC 1000. a. Write a program that will take 3 inputs 1. The amount the consumer needs 2. The interest rate 3. The duration…arrow_forward
- ASAParrow_forward(Data processing) Your professor has asked you to write a C++ program that determines grades at the end of the semester. For each student, identified by an integer number between 1 and 60, four exam grades must be kept, and two final grade averages must be computed. The first grade average is simply the average of all four grades. The second grade average is computed by weighting the four grades as follows: The first grade gets a weight of 0.2, the second grade gets a weight of 0.3, the third grade gets a weight of 0.3, and the fourth grade gets a weight of 0.2. That is, the final grade is computed as follows: 0.2grade1+0.3grade2+0.3grade3+0.2grade4 Using this information, construct a 60-by-7 two-dimensional array, in which the first column is used for the student number, the next four columns for the grades, and the last two columns for the computed final grades. The program’s output should be a display of the data in the completed array. For testing purposes, the professor has provided the following data:arrow_forwardBLACKJACK DO not use jquery strictly java script Black Jack is a simple card game that is also often called 21. The point of the game is to get a value as close to 21 without going over. A player that obtains the score of 21 with only 2 cards is said to have a Black Jack. Rules of the game: There are 2 types of participants in a game of Black Jack, the dealer and the players. The players play against the dealer and not against each other. In order to win, the player must have a hand value superior to that of the dealer’s. The game starts with each player receiving 2 cards, the dealer receiving 2 cards. Each player has the option to add an additional cards (1 by 1) to his hand (Draw) or to stay with the cards he currently has (Hold). If at any point, the player’s total exceeds 21, he automatically loses the hand (Bust). When all players complete this process, the dealer gets to complete his hand. As long as the dealer’s point total is 16 or less, he must draw a new card. As soon as…arrow_forward
