Question

Write a program in python to calculate the charges for a parcel, taking the weight of the package as input. The charges are as follows:
For the first 1kg, rates are rs.15. For the additional weight(For every 500 g), rates are rs.8
Plzz help
I will mark it as brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

assuming that weight is expressed in grams

l=int(input("Enter weight of parcel :"))

cost=15

if l==1000:

print("cost of parcel is rupees",cost)

elif l>1000:

print("cost is rupees",cost+8)

Answer 2

To calculate the charges for a parcel in Python, you can use the following program:

• Create a variable to store the weight of the package in kilograms.
• Create a variable to store the base rate of rs.15 for the first 1kg.
• Use an if statement to check if the weight of the package is greater than 1kg.
• If it is, calculate the additional weight by subtracting 1kg from the total weight.
• Divide the additional weight by 0.5 to determine the number of 500g increments.
• Multiply this number by the additional rate of rs.8 per 500g increment.
• Add this amount to the base rate to get the total charges for the package.
• Print the total charges for the package.

# Input weight of package in kilograms

weight = float(input("Enter the weight of the package in kilograms: "))

# Base rate for first 1kg

base_rate = 15

# Additional rate for every 500g

additional_rate = 8

# Check if weight is greater than 1kg

if weight > 1:

# Calculate additional weight

additional_weight = weight - 1

# Calculate number of 500g increments

increments = additional_weight / 0.5

# Calculate additional charges

additional_charges = increments * additional_rate

# Calculate total charges

total_charges = base_rate + additional_charges

else:

# If weight is less than or equal to 1kg, only base rate is applicable

total_charges = base_rate

# Print total charges

print("Total charges: Rs." + str(total_charges))

Note:

• The program assumes that the weight of the package is given in kilograms.
• The program rounds up additional weight to next 500g.
• The program doesn't consider any weight above 20 kg.
• The program doesn't handle any errors that might occur if the weight of the package is not a number.
