w is the number of copies sold, x is the cost per copy and y is the cost the agency spends per copy.

Answer 1

Program in C++:

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int w, x, y;

cout<<"Enter the number of copies sold : ";

cin>>w;

cout<<"Enter the cost per copy : ";

cin>>x;

cout<<"Enter the cost the agency spends per copy : ";

cin>>y;

int profit = (w * x) - (w * y) - 100;

cout<<"The profit obtained by the newspaper agency : "<<profit;

return 0;

}

Output:

Enter the number of copies sold : 1000

Enter the cost per copy : 2

Enter the cost the agency spends per copy : 1

The profit obtained by the newspaper agency : 900
