Question

Write the pseudo code for the following:

Write a program that asks the user to enter an item's wholesale cost and its markup percentage. It should then display the item's retail price. For example:

If an item's wholesale cost is 5.00 and its markup percentage is 100%, then the item's retail prices is 10.00.

If an item's wholesale cost is 5.00 and its markup percentage is 50%, then the item's retail price is 7.50.

The program should have a function named calculateRetail that receives the wholesale cost and the markup percentage as arguments and returns the retail price of the item

Explanation / Answer

RetailCostTest.java

import java.util.Scanner;


public class RetailCostTest {

  
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
       System.out.print("Enter an item's wholesale cost: ");
       double wholesaleCost = scan.nextDouble();
       System.out.print("Enter markup percentage: ");
       double percentage = scan.nextDouble();
       double retailCost = calculateRetail(wholesaleCost, percentage);
       System.out.println("Retail cost is "+retailCost);

   }
   public static double calculateRetail (double wholesaleCost, double percentage){
       double retailCost = wholesaleCost + (wholesaleCost * percentage)/100;
       return retailCost;
   }

}

Output:

Enter an item's wholesale cost: 10
Enter markup percentage: 100
Retail cost is 20.0

Enter an item's wholesale cost: 5
Enter markup percentage: 50
Retail cost is 7.5
