The Problem: A program is needed to manage newspaper orders for a small news stand. Paper carriers order from the news stand, then pick up the papers for delivery to customers. Usually, they order one day in advance of pickup. This news stand sells 4 different newspapers: Chicago Tribune - $4.00 each • Wall Street Journal - $2.50 each • New York Times $7.00 each Los Angeles Times - $3.66 each Customers ordering 10 or more copies of any combination of newspapers receive a 10% discount unless they order at least 20 copies, in which case the discount is 15%. Sales tax in this location is 7.25%. Your program will display a welcome message. Then it will get the following information from the customer: • Name • The number of Chicago Tribune copies desired • . • The number of Wall Street Journal copies desired The number of New York Times copies desired The number of Los Angeles Times copies desired The day of the week when the copies will be picked up Your program I will calculate the base cost of the order, determine whether a discount applies computing the discount amount and the adjusted cost if there is a discount, compute the tax on the (adjusted) amount, and compute the final total cost. The program will display an order summary as shown below. The title of the newspaper will be included in the summary only if at least one copy of that paper has been ordered. The discount lines will be displayed only if a discount applies to the order. See the sample run below for the correct format.
