The Miles per Gallon Calculator Problem
Create an application that calculates a car’s gas mileage. The formula for calculating the miles that a car can travel per gallon of gas is:
In the formula MPG is miles-per-gallon, miles is the number of miles that can be driven on a full tank of gas, and gallons is the number of gallons that the tank holds.
The application’s form should have TextBox controls that let the user enter the number of gallons of gas the tank holds and the number of miles the car can be driven on a full tank. When the Calculate MPG button is clicked, the application should display the number of miles that the car can be driven per gallon of gas. The form should also have a Clear button that clears the input and results, and an Exit button that ends the application. If the user fails to enter numeric values, display an appropriate error message and do not attempt to perform calculations. The application’s form should appear as shown in Figure 3–58.

Use the following set of test data to determine if the application is calculating properly:

Carpet Calculator
The Westfield Carpet Company has asked you to write an application that calculates the price of carpeting for rectangular rooms. To calculate the price, you multiply the area of the floor (width times length) by the price per square foot of carpet. For example, the area of floor that is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide is 120 square feet. To cover that floor with carpet that costs $8 per square foot would cost $960.
First, you should create a class named RoomDimension that has two fields: one for the length of the room and one for the width. The RoomDimension class should have a method that returns the area of the room. (The area of the room is the room’s length multiplied by the room’s width.)
Next you should create a RoomCarpet class that has a RoomDimension object as a field. It should also have a field for the cost of the carpet per square foot. The RoomCarpet class should have a method that returns the total cost of the carpet.

Reza Enterprises sells tickets for buses, tours, and other travel services. Because Reza frequently mistypes long ticket numbers, Reza Enterprises has asked his students to write an application that shows if a ticket is invalid. Your application/program tells the ticket agent to enter a six-digit ticket number. Ticket numbers are designed so that if you lose the last digit of the number, then divide by 7, the remainder of the division is exactly the same to the last dropped digit. This process is shown below:
Step 1: Enter the ticket number; for example 123454
Step 2: Remove the last digit, leaving 12345
Step 3: Determine the remainder when the ticket number from step 2 is divided by 7. In this case, 12345 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 4.
Step 4: Display a message to the ticket agent indicating whether the ticket number is valid or not. If the ticket number is valid, save the number to a .txt file called “tickets.txt” and.

- C# Account numbers sometimes contain a check digit that is the result of a mathematical calculation. The inclusion of the digit in an account number helps ascertain whether the number is a valid one. Write an application named CheckDigit that asks a user to enter a four-digit account number and determines whether it is a valid number. The number is valid if the fourth digit is the remainder when the number represented by the first three digits of the four-digit number is divided by 7. For example, 7770 is valid, because 0 is the remainder when 777 is divided by 7. If the account number is valid, output The account number is valid. If the account number is invalid output Invalid.
