Question

Sites like Zillow get input about house prices from a database and provide nice summaries for readers. Write a program with two inputs, current price and last month's price (both integers). Then, output a summary listing the price, the change since last month, and the estimated monthly mortgage computed as (currentPrice * 0.051) / 12 (Note: Output directly. Do not store in a variable.).

Ex: If the input is:

200000 210000
the output is:

This house is $200000. The change is $-10000 since last month.
The estimated monthly mortgage is $850.0.
Given

import java.util.Scanner;

public class LabProgram {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);
int currentPrice;
int lastMonthsPrice;

currentPrice = scnr.nextInt();
lastMonthsPrice = scnr.nextInt();

Answer 1

Answer:

System.out.println("This house is $"+currentPrice + ". The change is $"+ (currentPrice - lastMonthsPrice) + " since last month.");

System.out.println("The estimated monthly mortgage is $"+ ((currentPrice * 0.051) / 12)+ ".");

Explanation:

The rest of the code can be seen above. After getting inputs for current and last month's prices, we arrange them according to the output.

To find out the change since last month, we subtract currentPrice from lastMonthsPrice.

To calculate the mortgage, we use given formula (currentPrice * 0.051) / 12.

Please be aware the string concatenation - arranging variables using + sign.
