1A) Write a program that that display the following pattern.

* *** ***** ******* ***** *** *

A customer in a store is purchasing five items. The prices of the five items are:

Price of item 1 = $12.95 Price of item 2 = $24.95 Price of item 3 = $6.95 Price of item 4 = $14.95 Price of item 5 = $3.95

1B) Write a program that holds the prices of the five items in five variables. Display each item's price, the subtotal of the sale, the amount of sales tax, and the total. Assume the sales tax is 6%. See below a sample screen output, after a successful "build and run" using the Code::Block IDE.

Item 1: $12.95 Item 2: $24.95 Item 3: $6.95 Item 4: $14.95 Item 5: $3.95 Subtotal: $63.75 Sales tax: $3.825 Total: $67.575 Process returned 0 (0x0) execution time : 0.050 s Press any key to continue. 

1C) A car with a 20-gallon gas tank averages 21.5 miles per gallon when driven in town and 26.8 miles per gallon when driven on the highway. Write a program that calculates and displays the distance the car can travel on one tank of gas when driven in town and when driven on the highway.

Hint: The following formula can be used to calculate the distance:

Distance=Number of Gallons x Average Miles Per Gallon.

See below a sample screen output, after a successful "compile and run" using the WxDev-C++ IDE.
