IntroductionIt's time to replace the ceiling in your living room, but you are not sure how much it will cost? The required materials cost $8 per square foot plus an installation fee of $500. Your roommate has agreed to pay half, and you have a coupon for $50 off the total cost. Write a program that accepts the length and width (as integers) of a room. Calculate the total cost (as a double) of ceiling by multiplying the square footage by the price per square foot, plus installation. Your program will print total square footage, total cost, and your cost (half the total cost less the coupon) |

Step 1:
You will need the following variables in order to solve this problem.
# This program is used to calculate the area # and cost of replacing the ceiling in your # living room costPSF = 8 coupon = 50 installFee = 500 length = input("Input length:") width = input("Input width:") area = length * width totalCost = (area * costPSF) + installFee print "Total area: %f " % area + "square feet" print "Total cost: $%f" % totalCost print "Your cost: $%f" % ((totalCost / 2) - coupon)
