Question

Create a flowchart for the following statements.

1. compute an employee's weekly wage, given his/her rate-per-hour and number of hours worked. assume there is no overtime pay.
2. compute a baseball player's betting average, given his number or at-bats and number of hits.

Answer 1

To compute an employee's weekly wage and a baseball player's batting average, start with inputs for rates, hours, or hits, follow the formula for each calculation, and display the results before ending the flowchart.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a flowchart for computing an employee's weekly wage:

1. Start with a rectangular shape labeled 'Start'.
   
2. Create two input shapes, one for 'Enter rate-per-hour' and another for 'Enter the number of hours worked'.
   
3. Add a process shape with the formula 'Weekly Wage = rate-per-hour × number of hours worked'.
   
4. Output the 'Weekly Wage' with a display shape.
   
5. End with a rectangular shape labeled 'End'.

For computing a baseball player's batting average:

• Start with a rectangular shape labeled 'Start'.
  
• Create two input shapes, one for 'Enter the number of at-bats' and another for 'Enter the number of hits'.
  
• Add a process shape with the formula 'Batting Average = number of hits/number of at-bats'.
  
• Output the 'Batting Average' with a display shape.
  
• End with a rectangular shape labeled 'End'.
