Water company billing system
The water company is implementing a new billing system. For each house, the invoice is made as follows:
-
The first 50 litres are free.
-
Between 50 and 200 litres, each litre is charged at 0.10 euros.
-
From 200 litres on, each litre is charged at 0.30 euros.
-
The minimum fee is 6 euros, that is, if the amount to pay is less than 6 euros, then the payment will be 6 euros.
Write a program that calculates the water consumption of a family in a month given the number of litres used.
>>> %Run
Enter the litres of water used: 0
The expense is 6.00€
>>> %Run
Enter the litres of water used: -500
Please enter a correct value
>>> %Run
Enter the litres of water used: 300
The expense is 90.00€
>>> %Run
Enter the litres of water used: 55
The expense is 6.00€
Insist that the students test their programs by giving them example
test executions.
