I need help writing the algorithm I know how to do the flow chart for the first one but I’m not sure if the second question is a for loop

Answer:

The algorithm is as follows:

(a) Sales and commission

1. Start

2. Input Sales

3. Commission = 0.30 * Sales

3. If sales >= 4000.00 then

3.1 Commission = 0.60 * Sales

4. End If

5. Print Commission

6. Stop

(b) Amount of Rainfall

1. Start

2. Days = 1

3. Total = 0.0

4. While Days <= 31

4.1. Input Rainfall

4.2. Total = Total + Rainfall

4.3. Days = Days + 1

4.4. End If

5. Print Total

6. Stop

See attachment for flowchart

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Sales and commission

This begins the algorithm

1. Start

This gets sales from the user

2. Input Sales

This calculates the commission based on 30% (i.e. for sales < 4000)

3. Commission = 0.30 * Sales

This checks if sales is greater than or equal to 4000

3. If sales >= 4000.00 then

This calculates the commission as 60% of Sales

3.1 Commission = 0.60 * Sales

This ends the if condition

4. End If

This prints the calculated commission

5. Print Commission

This ends the algorithm

6. Stop

(b) Amount of Rainfall

This begins the algorithm

1. Start

This initializes the number of days to 1

2. Days = 1

This initializes total rainfall to 0

3. Total = 0.0

The following while loop is repeated until day 31st

4. While Days <= 31

This gets input for Rainfall from the user

4.1. Input Rainfall

This calculates the total rainfall

4.2. Total = Total + Rainfall

This increments the number of days

4.3. Days = Days + 1

This ends the if statement

4.4. End If

This prints the total rainfall

5. Print Total

This ends the algorithm

6. Stop
