1) Provide 3 different ways to produce the following output: [3 points]
charge
on
#1 print (”charge”,end=“\n”)
print(“on”)
#2print(“charge”,”on”,sep=”\n”)
#3print(“charge\n on”)
Each method should have one or two print commands. (Hint: make use of end, sep and

2) In Orange County, Florida we have a 6.5% tax added to all purchases of items. This
6.5% is in addition to the purchase price of the item. Write a program that reads in the
cost of the item (before tax) in cents as an integer number and prints out the total cost
with the value added tax added. For example, if the user enters 520, your program
should print out 553 or 554 (rounding doesn’t matter. Both solutions are correct).
[4 points]
P
#ask the user how much does the item cost
num=int(input(“Enter cost of item:”)
#calculating the total price of the item after tax
total_cost=num+(num*6.5)//100
print(“Total cost is: ”,total_cost)

a) X // 25
gives the number of UCF sporting event David can go with his savings
b) X % 25
Gives the amount remaining after David factored x dollars to all the UCF sporting
