Answer 1

A C++ program for calculating sales tax and total after tax requires converting the tax percentage into a decimal, multiplying it by the total item cost, and then adding it to the original total. This calculation takes place in a separate module linked to the main file.

Step-by-step explanation:

The C++ program consists of two parts, the main file (console.cpp) and a separate module, typically a header file (sales_tax.h) and its implementation file (sales_tax.cpp), where the sales tax calculation logic will reside. To calculate sales tax for an item, you first convert the percentage rate from a percent to a decimal. Then, you multiply this decimal by the total cost of the items to find the total sales tax amount. Finally, you add the sales tax to the original total to get the total after tax. An example of this calculation would be for an $8.99 item with a 6% sales tax rate: $8.99 * 0.06 (6% as a decimal) gives us $0.5394, which we round to the nearest cent, $0.54, leading to a total of $9.53 after tax. The program will repeatedly ask for item costs and will stop when a zero is entered. It will then output the total cost, sales tax, and total after tax, and prompt the user to calculate again if desired.
