The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the Problem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
The telephone company charges 10 cents per minute<\/strong> for calls outside the customer\u2019s area code<\/strong> that last over 20 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
All other calls<\/strong> are charged at 13 cents per minute<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
We need to calculate and display<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Customer area code<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Customer phone number<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Called area code<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Called number<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Call duration<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Total charge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Algorithm Steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Input the required details<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Customer area code (3 digits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Customer phone number (7 digits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Called area code (3 digits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Called number (7 digits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Call duration in minutes (4 digits)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
Determine the call rate<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
If the customer area code<\/strong> is different from the called area code<\/strong> AND<\/strong> call time is more than 20 minutes<\/strong>, apply 10 cents per minute<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise, apply 13 cents per minute<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
Calculate the total charge<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Multiply the call duration by the applicable rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
Display the output<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Show customer area code, customer phone number, called area code, called number, call time, and total charge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Flowchart Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Start<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
Input<\/strong> customer details (area code, phone number, called area code, called number, call time).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Check if the call is outside the area code<\/strong> and greater than 20 minutes<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Yes<\/strong> \u2192 Rate = 10 cents per minute<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
No<\/strong> \u2192 Rate = 13 cents per minute<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
Calculate<\/strong> total charge (Charge = Time * Rate<\/code>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Display the results<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
End the program<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Here is the flowchart illustrating the logic for the telephone billing system. It visually represents the steps required to calculate the total charge based on the conditions provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation of the Flowchart<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Start<\/strong> the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Input<\/strong> the customer and call details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Check if the call is outside the area code AND lasts more than 20 minutes<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Yes<\/strong> \u2192 Apply 10 cents per minute<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
No<\/strong> \u2192 Apply 13 cents per minute<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
Calculate the total charge<\/strong> using Charge = Time * Rate<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Display the results<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
End<\/strong> the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
This ensures accurate calculation of call charges based on the company\u2019s policy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
