Question

Sales Prediction A company has determined that its annual profit is typically 23 percent of total sales. Design a program that asks the user to enter the projected amount of total sales, and then displays the profit that will be made from that amount. Hint: Use the value 0.23 to represent 23 percent

Answer 1

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is about calculating the profit from the annual projected sales of a company.

You can calculate the profit by using the following formula:

profit = annual projected sales x annual profit.

So, the code (solution) is given below, however, it is noted that this program is written in c++ language.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

long double annualProfitPercentage=0.23;// annual profit 23%.

long double projectedSales,profit;/* declare variable to store the annual projected sales and profit */

cout<<"*********Sales Prediction*********\\"; //output heading

cout<<"\\Enter the project amount of total sales: ";// take input from user

cin>>projectedSales;// store input into variable projectedSales

profit = projectedSales * annualProfitPercentage;//calculate profit

cout<<"Profit is: "<<profit;//print result

return 0;

}
