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)
2. (TCO 10) A small business in your neighborhood would like an
application developed that determines the average dollar amount spent
for every three purchases. The user will enter three different purchase
amounts. You need to display the average to your client. Complete the
pseudocode to design your logic. (Points : 10)
3. (TCO 9 & 10) There is a logic error in the following pseudocode. The
loop needs to execute four times. What statement(s) would you need to
add or change to correct the logic? Be sure to explain why you are
adding or changing the statements. Set REPEAT Set +

4. 1 UNTIL total < 7 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 Declare _____ countyCode _____ “Enter the county
code: “ _____ countyCode If _____ <= 10 then Set Else If
_____ AND _____ then Set
Else _____ EndIf _____ Display “the sales tax is: “ +
_____ End (Points : 10)
5. (TCO 5 & 10) Complete the pseudocode by rewriting the algorithm.
The design is to display a 60-second countdown. Begin Declare
_____ count Set REPEAT Display “countdown: “ +
_____ Set - 1 UNTIL _____ EndDo Display “LIFT
OFF!” End (Points : 10)
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 _____ “Enter first primary color: “ Input
_____ Prompt “Enter the second primary color: “ Input
_____ Set control1 = “n” DOWHILE control1 = “n” If (color1
<> “yellow”) _____ (color1 <> “red”) _____ (color1 <> “blue”)
then Prompt “first primary color is invalid” Input
_____ Else Set control1 = “y” ENDO Set control2 =
“n” DOWHILE control2 = “n” If (color2 <> “yellow”) _____
(color2 <> “red”) _____ (color2 <> “blue”) then Prompt “second
primary color is invalid” Input color2 Else Set control2 =
“y” ENDO If (color1 = “red”) AND (_____) then Display
“secondary color is: purple” EndIf If (color1 = “yellow”) AND

5. (_____) then Display “secondary color is: green” EndIf End

how relational and logical operators are used. (Points : 10)
