Five star retro video rents vhs tapes and dvds to the same connoisseurs who like to buy lp record albums. the store rents new videos for $3.00 a night, and oldies for $2.00 a night. write a program that the clerks at five star retro video can use to calculate the total charge for a customer’s video rentals. the program should prompt the user for the number of each type of video and output the total cost.

here is code in C++.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

   // variables to store number of each video

   int new_video,old_video;

   double total_charge;

   cout<<"Please enter number of new video:";

   // read number of new video

   cin>>new_video;

   cout<<"Please enter number of old video:";

   // read number of old video

   cin>>old_video;

   // total change

   total_charge=(3.0*new_video)+(2.0*old_video);

   cout<<"total cost is: "<<total_charge<<endl;

return 0;

}

Explanation:

Declare two variables "new_video" and "old_video" to store the number of each type of video.Read the value of both from user.Then calculate total charge by multiply 3.0 to number of new video & 2.0 to number of old video and add both of them. This will be the total charge.

Output:

Please enter number of new video:4

Please enter number of old video:6

total cost is: 24
