else
discountRate = 0;

a) .04

b) .03

c) .05

d) 0

Answer 1

a) .04

Step-by-step explanation:

We have purchase =1250,discountRate=0.0 and cust='N'.First if statement will be checked since our purchase is greater than 1000 this if statement will be executed.Then cust will be checked since our cust is not Y so else will be executed so the discountRate will become 0.04.Any other elseif or else will not be executed.
