Program 2 – Room Painting

 

Overview:  Assume you’re a painter and you’d like to come up with a system so you can give someone an accurate price quote before you start each job.  You decide to write a program to help you out.  Through your experience, you’ve gathered the following facts:

 

Ø  A gallon of paint covers about 80 square feet of wall/ceiling.

Ø  An average gallon of paint costs 24.99.

Ø  Sales tax is 6% (Paint is taxed, but labor is not.)

Ø  You can paint about 30 square feet per hour.

Ø  You charge $15.50 per hour for labor.

 

Your program should provide an itemized price quote based on the dimensions of the room.  An itemized quote will list paint costs, sales tax, and labor costs along with the grand total.   

 

Check Figure:  A 10x12x8 room should cost about $400.15 to paint.

 

Make sure you use Constants where appropriate!
