Question

Num_cents is read from input. Complete the following to output 'dollar or more' if the value of num_cents is at least a dollar (100 cents is a dollar).

1) dollar or more
2) less than a dollar
3) exactly a dollar
4) cannot be determined

Answer 1

To determine if num_cents is at least a dollar, compare num_cents to 100; if it's greater than 100, it's a dollar or more, if less, then it's less than a dollar, if exactly 100, it's exactly a dollar. If unclear, it cannot be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are dealing with num_cents and need to determine whether it is equivalent to a dollar or more, less than a dollar, exactly a dollar, or if it cannot be determined, we are engaging in mathematical conversions between cents and dollars.

To determine the value of num_cents in relation to a dollar, perform the following steps:

1. Understand that 100 cents equals one dollar.
2. Compare num_cents to 100. If num_cents is greater than 100, output 'dollar or more'.
3. If num_cents is less than 100, output 'less than a dollar'.
4. If num_cents is exactly 100, output 'exactly a dollar'.
5. If the value of num_cents is not provided or unclear, output 'cannot be determined'.

Note that using this conversion process, we handle tasks such as converting coin values, converting between cents and dollars, finding the total value of coins and bills, and solving higher-order addition and subtraction of money applications, among others.
