Answer: Question 8a

Answer:

Here is the algorithm for the cost of laying the broadband cables:

START
OUTPUT "How many people have signed up for the cable?"
NumberOfPeople ← USERINPUT
OUTPUT "How much cable is needed in total?"
LengthOfCable ← USERINPUT
ExtraLength ← LengthOfCable - 1000
IF Extralength ≤ 0 THEN
	Cost ← 5000
ELSE
	Cost ← 5000 + (ExtraLength * 4)
ENDIF
IF NumberOfPeople ≥ 50 THEN
	Cost ← Cost / 2
ENDIF
OUTPUT Cost
END
       

Your answer will get 1 point for:

• Allowing input of the number of people
• Allowing input of length
• Calculating the total cost
• Applying the discount if appropriate
• Outputting the total cost

The exact language and layout of the pseudocode is up to you. “<=” or “is less than or equal to” are just as good as "≤", and so. Also using different ways to calculate the amount is acceptable, so long as they work!
