Introduction

It'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.

  • costPSF - The cost of materials per square foot.
  • coupon - The coupon that will be used for the discount
  • installFee - The installation fee
  • length - The length of the ceiling
  • width - The width of the ceiling
  • area- The area that is to be calculated
  • totalCost - The total cost of replacing your ceiling
