Improved Program

Here is the situation:

Let us say that different shipments have different markups. One shipment might be marked up 50 percent; another might be marked up 100 percent.

QUESTION 9:

In rough outline, how will this modified program look? (Hint: the repeated statements are nearly the same as before.)
