A good answer might be:

In an if statement, the true or false of a boolean expression picks whether the true branch or the false branch of code is executed. To practice putting together programs with two-way decisions, let us look at another story problem.

A clothing store wants a program that calculates the tax on an item. Clothing that costs $100 or more has a 5% tax. Clothing that costs less than $100 is tax free. Write a program that asks for the price, then calculates the tax and prints it out, and prints out the total cost of the item.

_________________ class TaxProgram { public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException { ____________________________ BufferedReader stdin = __________________________________________ String inData; int price; double tax ; System.out.println("Enter the price:"); __________________________ price = Integer.parseInt( inData ); if ( ________________ ) ______________________ else ________ System.out.println("Item cost: " + price + " Tax: " + tax + " Total: " + (price+tax) ); } }

Here are some program fragments to use in filling the blanks:

tax = price * taxRate;   
new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader( System.in ) );
inData = stdin.readLine();
double taxRate = 0.05;
price >= 100
import java.io.*;
tax = 0;

QUESTION 12:

Complete the program by filling in the blanks.
