Explanation / Answer

start

Declaration

num Num_Of_Messages

num Basic_Charge

num Final_Charge

num Additional_Charge

num Total

num TOTAL_TAX = 0.12

num QUIT=-1

string PROMPT = "Enter number of messages sent: "

set Basic_Charge=5

output "Enter number of messages "

output "Enter -1 to quit"

input Num _Of_Messages

if Num _Of_Messages = QUIT then

output "Program end"

else if Num _Of_Messages <=60 then

Additional_Charge =0

Final_Charge= Basic_Charge+ Additional_Charge

Else

if (Num _Of_Messages > 60) AND (Num _Of_Messages <=180)

Additional_Charge = (Num _Of_Messages-60)*0.05

Final_Charge= Basic_Charge+ Additional_Charge

Else

if (Num _Of_Messages > 180)

Additional_Charge = (Num _Of_Messages-60)*0.05+(Num _Of_Messages-180)*0.1

Final_Charge= Basic_Charge+ Additional_Charge

endif

Total= Final_Charge+(0.12* Final_Charge)

output Total
