Question

A large company pays its salespeople on a commission basis. The salespeople each receive $200 per week plus 9% of their gross sales for that week. For example a salesperson who sells $5000 worth of chemicals in a week receives $200 plus 9% of $5000, or total of $650. Develop a Java application that inputs one salesperson's items sold for last week and calculates and displays that salesperson's earnings. There's no limit to eh number of items that can be sold.

//This is what I have, I am not sure if I answered this correctly. Can someone look over this and help me? Are my variables named correctly, my professor is a real stickler about them. Thanks.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Sales
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
  
       double gross = (0.0);
       int product = (0);
       double earnings = gross;
       int number = product;      

       while (product < 4)
       {
           product++;
  
           System.out.println("Enter number sold of product #" + product + ":");
           number = input.nextInt();
  
           if (product == 1)
                       gross = gross + number * 239.99;
                else if (product == 2)
                       gross = gross + number * 129.75;
                else if (product == 3)
                       gross = gross + number * 99.95;
                else if (product == 4)
                       gross = gross + number * 350.89;
          
       }

       earnings = 0.09 * gross + 200;
  
       String result = ("Earnings this week: $" + earnings);
       System.out.println(result);
   }
}
