Thabo's Hardware Store Pricing Algorithm

Thabo owns a hardware store and sells paint cans. Each paint can contain $5$ litres of paint. Thabo calculates the total cost of paint, packaging, and overhead expenses for each can. He then adds a $25\%$ markup to cover other costs and calculates the price per litre of paint. The algorithm will prompt the user to enter the total cost per paint can, then calculate and display the price per litre of paint. Thabo always sells the paint in full Rand amounts, rounding up the cents to the next Rand.
