Coding challenges are a great resource for learning coding techniques and improve analytical thinking, this is a collection of challenges from different platforms.
Objective
In this challenge, you’ll work with arithmetic operators. Check out the Tutorial tab for learning materials and an instructional video!
Task
Given the meal price (base cost of a meal), tip percent (the percentage of the meal price being added as tip), and tax percent (the percentage of the meal price being added as tax) for a meal, find and print the meal’s total cost.
Note: Be sure to use precise values for your calculations, or you may end up with an incorrectly rounded result!
Input Format
There are 3 lines of numeric input:
The first line has a double, mealCost
(the cost of the meal before tax and
tip).
The second line has an integer, tipPercent
(the percentage of mealCost
being added as tip).
The third line has an integer, taxPercent
(the percentage of mealCost
being
added as tax).
Output Format
Print The total meal cost is totalCost dollars.
, where totalCost
is the
rounded integer result of the entire bill (mealCost
with added tax and tip).

Explanation
Given:
mealCost = 12
, tipPercent = 20
, taxPercent = 8
Calculations:
tip = 12 * (20 / 100) = 2.4
tax = 12 * (8 / 100) = 0.96
totalCost = mealCost + tip + tax = 12 + 2.4 + 0.96 = 15.36
roud(totalCost) = 15
We round totalCost
to the nearest dollar (integer) and then print our result:
The total meal cost is 15 dollars.

Solution
main.go
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
var (
mealCost float64
tipPercent, taxPercent int
total float64
)
fmt.Scan(&mealCost)
total += mealCost
fmt.Scan(&tipPercent)
total += float64(tipPercent) / 100 * mealCost
fmt.Scan(&taxPercent)
total += float64(taxPercent) / 100 * mealCost
fmt.Println(int64(total + 0.5))
}
