Programming Challenge Chapter 3 – Q #5 Box Office – Tony Gaddis – Starting Out With C++

Problem: -

A movie theater only keeps a percentage of the revenue earned from ticket sales. The remainder goes to the movie distributor. Write a program that calculates a theater's gross and net box office pro t for a night. The program should ask for the name of the movie, and how many adult and child tickets were sold. (The price of an adult ticket is $6.00 and a child s ticket is $3.00.) It should display a report similar to

Movie Name:                           Wheels of Fury

Adult Tickets Sold:                         382

Child Tickets Sold:                         127

Gross Box Office Profit:              $ 2673.00

Net Box Office Profit:                 $ 534.60

Amount Paid to Distributor:        $ 2138.40

Solution: -

#include <iostream>

#include<string>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

      const float  ADULT = 6,

            CHILD = 3,

            PROFIT_PERCENTAGE = 0.2;

 

      string name;

      float ticket1, ticket2;

      float boxOffice = 0.0, netProfit = 0.0, distributer_ammount = 0.0;

      float adult, child;

 

      cout << "Enter Movie Name: ";

      getline(cin, name);

      cout << "How many Child ticket Sale: ";

      cin >> ticket1;

      cout << "How many Adult ticket Sale: ";

      cin >> ticket2;

 

      child = ticket1 * CHILD;

      adult = ticket2 * ADULT;

 

      boxOffice = child + adult;

      netProfit = boxOffice * PROFIT_PERCENTAGE;

      distributer_ammount = boxOffice - netProfit;

 

      cout << "\nMovie Name:                   " << name << endl;

      cout << "Adult Ticket Sold:              " << ticket2 << endl;

      cout << "Child Ticket Sold:              " << ticket1 << endl;

      cout << "Box Office:                    $" << boxOffice << endl;

      cout << "Net Profit:                    $" << netProfit << endl;

      cout << "Ammount Paid to Distributer:   $" << distributer_ammount << endl;

 

      return 0;

}
