Hello, I was given an assignment on qbasic.
"Write a program to accept quantity of items and
price of items. This program should allow the
user input and calculate the total price and
discount.

CLS
REM "assignment on discounts and price"
REM "written by .....your name goes here......."


INPUT " how many records do you want to create", rec
FOR i = 1 TO rec
CLS
PRINT "item number:", i
INPUT "please type price of the item", price
total = total + price
IF i = rec THEN EXIT FOR
NEXT i
PRINT "the total price of the", rec, " items is", total
dis = 13 / 100 * total
discount = total - dis
PRINT " at a discount of 13% your new amount is", discount

it would have helped if you indicated exatcly how you wanted the discount operation to go and perharps the percentage discount
