1. (TCO 10) A retail store is having a customer appreciation sale. Depending on the total
dollars purchased, the customer could receive a discount on his or her total purchases. You
are to develop pseudocode that will obtain the total dollars purchased from the user,
determine the discount percentage, and display the total amount due. When the purchases
are more than $100, the discount is 10%. When the purchases are $100 or less, the
discount is 5%. (Points : 10)

logic? Be sure to explain why you are adding or changing the statements.
Set
REPEAT
Set + 1
UNTIL total <>
EndWhile
Display total (Points : 10)
4. (TCO 4 & 10) Complete the pseudocode by rewriting the algorithm. The design is
determining the correct sales tax depending on the county identifying code. Counties with a
number less than 10 have a 6% sales tax. The 11–25 codes have a sales tax of 7%. Codes
above 25 have a sales tax of 8%. The code is entered by the user.
Begin
Declare Real salesTax

4. Declare _____ countyCode

If _____ <= 10="">
Set
Else

display a 60-second countdown.
Begin
Declare _____ count
Set
REPEAT

6. (TCO 4, 5 & 10) Complete the pseudocode by rewriting the algorithm. The colors red,
blue, and yellow are known as primary colors because they cannot be made by mixing
other colors. When you mix two primary colors, you get a secondary color. Mixing yellow
and blue gets you green. Mixing red and blue gets you purple. The algorithm allows the
user to enter two primary colors and then displays the resulting secondary color. The
colors entered by the user will be validated to ensure they entered a primary color.
Begin
Declare String color1
Declare String color2
Declare String control1
Declare String control2

Input _____
Prompt “Enter the second primary color: “
Input _____

Set control2 = “y”
ENDO
If (color1 = “red”) AND (_____) then
Display “secondary color is: purple”
