Question

Write a program with a car's miles/gallon and gas dollars/gallon (both floats) as input, and output the gas cost for 10 miles, 50 miles, and 400 miles. Ex: If the input is 20.0 3.1599, the output is: 1.57995 7.89975 63.198 Note: Small expression differences can yield small floating-point output differences due to computer rounding. Ex: (a + b)/3.0 is the same as a/3.0 + b/3.0 but output may differ slightly. Because our system tests programs by comparing output, please obey the following when writing your expression for this problem. First use the dollars/gallon and miles/gallon values to calculate the dollars/mile. Then use the dollars/mile value to determine the cost per 10, 50, and 400 miles. Note: Real per-mile cost would also include maintenance and depreciation.

Answer 1

The Following are the code to this question:

def cost(miles, milesPerGallon, dollarsPerGallon):##defining a method cost that accepts three parameter

return miles / milesPerGallon * dollarsPerGallon# calculate cost and return it value

milesPerGallon = float(input('Enter miles/Gallon value: '))#defining variable milesPerGallon for user input

dollarsPerGallon = float(input('Enter dollars/ Gallon value: '))#defining variable dollarsPerGallon for user input

print('{:.5f}'.format(cost(10, milesPerGallon, dollarsPerGallon)))#call method and print its value

print('{:.5f}'.format(cost(50, milesPerGallon, dollarsPerGallon)))#call method and print its value

print('{:.3f}'.format(cost(400, milesPerGallon, dollarsPerGallon)))#call method and print its value

Output:

Enter miles/Gallon value: 20.0

Enter dollars/ Gallon value: 3.1599

1.57995

7.89975

63.198

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above-given code, a method "cost" is defined, that accepts three value "miles, milesPerGallon, and dollarsPerGallon" in its parameter, and use the return keyword for calculating and return its value.

In the next step, two variable "milesPerGallon, and dollarsPerGallon" is declared, that use the input method with float keyword for input floating-point value.

After input value, it uses a print method with different miles values, which are "10,50, and 400", and input value to pass in cost method to call and print its return value.
