Required assets

The provided Homework Resources/Completed folder contains a completed version of the program you can use to check your work. Please make sure you have this folder before you begin.

Steps

Below are the high-level instructions to implement the program.

Bill Calculation Program

1. Create a new Console Project in Visual Studio. Name the Project and Solution BillCalculation.
2. Your entire program will be written inside Main defined in the file Program.cs.
3. Please delete the Console.WriteLine that Visual Studio generated inside Main.
4. Add the following constants to your program.

   const double SodaPrice     = 1.50;
   const double SandwichPrice = 4.50;
   const double ChipsPrice    = 1.25;
   const double TaxRate       = 0.08;
   const double TipRate       = 0.15;
   

5. Calculate the subtotal, tax, tip, and total for a customer that ordered 2 sodas, 2 sandwiches, and 1 bag of chips. You can do this any way that seems appropriate to you. One suggested approach is to declare variables to hold each value. Use int variables for the number or each item and double variables for amounts of money.
6. Output the subtotal, tax, tip, and total to the Console window. Use the C format specifier with Console.WriteLine as shown below to automatically include your local currency symbol in the output.

   Console.WriteLine("Tip {0:C}", tip);
   

7. Build and run the program to test your work.
