stoppingDistance = speed * (2.25 + speed / 21)Write a program which determines whether a vehicle’s tailgating distance is safe.The program should read in the speed of the vehicle and the vehicle’s tailgatingdistance. The program should then calculate the distance that would be required tostop the vehicle.If the stopping distance is less than the tailgating distance, your programshould print “No problem.” If the stopping distance equals the tailgatingdistance, your program should print “Minor wreck.” If the stopping distanceis greater than the tailgating distance, your program should print “Majorwreck!”

A county collects property takes on the assessment value of property, which is 60 percent of the property's actual value. For example, if an acre of land is valued at #10,000, it assessment value is $6,000. The property tax is then 72 cents for each $100 of the assessment value. The tax for the acre assessed at $6,000 will be $43.20. Write a program that asks for the actual value of a piece of property and displays the assessment value and property tax.

- (Apartment problem) A real estate office handles , say, 50 apartment units. When the rent is, say, $600 per month, all the units are occupied. However, for each, say $40 increase in rent, one unit becomes vacant. Moreover, each occupied unit requires an average of $27 per month for maintenance. How many units should be rented to maximize the profit? Write a program that prompts the user to enter: The total number of units. The rent to occupy all the units. The increase in rent that results in a vacant unit. Amount to maintain rented unit. The program then outputs the number of units to be rented to maximize the profit.arrow_forwardthere are three seating categories at a stadium. for a softball game, class A seats are $30, Class B seats are $20 and Class C seats are $15. Write a program that asks how many tickets for each class of seats were sold and then displays the amount of income generated from ticket sales.arrow_forwardAn employee is paid at a rate of $16.78 per hour for regular hours worked in a week.

If thfor health insurance beyond what the employers pays. Write a program that will read 25 employees the number of hours worked in a week and the number of dependents as input, and will then output the worker’s gross pay, each withholding amount and the net take home pay for the week.arrow_forward
- To make telephine numbers easier to remember, some companies use letters to show their telephone number. For example, the telephine number 438-5626 can be shown as GET-LOAN. In some cases, to make a telephone number meaningful, compaines might use more than seven letters. For example, 225-5466, can be displayed as CALL-HOME, whic uses eight letters. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a telephone number expressesd in letters and outputs the corresponding telephone number in digits. If the user enters more than seven letter, then process only the first seven letters. Also, output the -(hyphen) after the third digit. Allow the user to use uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as spaces between words. Moreover, your program should proces as many telephone as the user wants. (Hint: You can read the entered telephine number as a string and then use the charAt() to extract each character.)arrow_forwardA county collects property taxes on the assessment value of property, which is 60 percent of the property’s actual value. If an acre of land is valued at $10,000, its assessment value is $6,000. The property tax is then 75¢ for each $100 of the assessment value. The tax for the acre assessed at $6,000 will be $45.

Any call started after 6:00P.M. (1800 hours) but before 8:00 A.M (0800 hours) is discounted 50%. Any call longer than 60 minutes receives a 15% discount. All calls are subject to 4% federal tax on the cost after any discounts. Write a program that takes the start time for a call based on a 24-hour clock and the length of the call in minutes. The gross cost (before any discounts or tax) should be displayed followed by the net cost (after discounts are deducted and tax is added).arrow_forward
- A county collects property taxes on the assessed value of property, which is 60 percentof its actual value. For example, if a house is valued at $158,000.00 its assessed valueis $94,800. This is the amount the homeowner pays tax on. If the tax rate is $2.64 foreach $100.00 of assessed value, the annual property tax for this house would be$2502.72.Write a program that asks the user for the actual value of a piece of property and thecurrent tax rate for each $100.00 of assessed value. The program should then calculateand display how much annual property tax the homeowner will be charged for his or herproperty. The program should also display the Property Value, the Assessed Value, andthe Tax Rate.

- (Parking fee) The short-term, 0-24 hours, parking fee, F, at an international airport is given by the following formula: where int(h + 1) is the integer value of h + 1. For example, int(3.2) = 3, int(4.8) = 4.

Let (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) be the geographicallatitude and longitude of two points. The great circle distance between the twopoints can be computed using the following formula:d = radius X arccos(sin (x1) X sin(x2) + cos(x1) X cos(x2) X cos(y1 - y2))Write a program that prompts the user to enter the latitude and longitude of twopoints on the earth in degrees and displays its great circle distance. The averageradius of the earth is 6,371.01 km. Note you need to convert the degrees into radiansusing the Math.toRadians method since the Java trigonometric methods useradians. The latitude and longitude degrees in the formula are for north and west.Use negative to indicate south and east degrees. Here is a sample run: Enter point 1 (latitude and longitude) in degrees: 39.55 −116.25 ↵EnterEnter point 2 (latitude and longitude) in degrees: 41.5 87.37 ↵EnterThe distance between the two points is…arrow_forwardCar sales commission problem - For each used car a salesperson sells, the commission paid is as follows: $20 plus 30% of the selling price in excess of the cost of the car. Typically, the minimum selling price of the car is the cost of the car plus $200 and the maximum selling price is the cost of the car and $2,000. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the salesperson’s fixed commission, the percentage of the commission, the purchasing cost of the car, the minimum and the maximum amount to be added to the purchasing cost to determine the minimum and the maximum selling price, and outputs minimum and maximum selling price of the car and the salesperson's commission range. As a suggestion, pay particular attention to the formulas would your being requested. I would recommend that you perform the calculations on paper or in Excel prior to programming the solution.
