Chapter 2 – Q #17   Stock Commission – Tony Gaddis – Starting Out With C++

Problem: - 

Kathryn bought 600 shares of stock at a price of $21.77 per share. She must pay her stock broker a 2 percent commission for the transaction. Write a program that calculates and displays the following:

• The amount paid for the stock alone (without the commission)
• The amount of the commission
• The total amount paid (for the stock plus the commission)

Solution: -

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

      const float shares = 600,

                  price = 21.77;

      float commission = 0.0, paid_wc = 0.0, total_paid = 0.0;

      paid_wc = price * shares;

      commission = (2 / 100.0) * paid_wc;

      total_paid = paid_wc + commission;

      cout << "Total Price Without Commission is $" << paid_wc << endl;

      cout << "Total Commission is               $" << commission << endl;

      cout << "Total Price With Commission is    $" << total_paid << endl;

     return 0;

}

This is the solution of this question
