Help needed to complete my homework

Question

My teacher gave me an assignment:

Write a program to input retail price of a product. If a 6.5% discount is given to a customer, then find and print the selling price.

Additional Details: I'm new to programming. I haven't learned any functions except printf() and Scanf().

Please write the program using only these functions. I have done it, thanks for helping.

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
 int retail_price, selling_price, discount;
 printf("Enter Retail Price of the product:-");
 scanf("%d", &retail_price);
 discount=6.5;
 selling_price=retail_price-discount;
 printf("Selling Price of the product is:- %d",selling_price);
 getch();
}

Answer 1

I guess the sollution is in your textbook. Or ask your schoolmates.

Answer 2

Let's try and break this down a little...

What do we need to know first? The retail price. How do we ask the user for it:

//todo: ask for the retail price, and put it in retailPrice

Now we have the retail price. Suppose it is in a variable called retailPrice. How do we get the discounted price? Do some math, and put the result in a new variable:

//todo: calculate the discounted price, and put it in discountedPrice

Now we need to display the discounted price. How can we print a variable to the screen:

//todo: show the discounted price.

Good luck. It gets easier the more you practice.
