Visit to the Book Store

On Saturday, 29 September 2018, Jim went to visit his favorite book store in Amsterdam: Scheltema, located on Rokin. Scheltema has a great collection of fiction, non-fiction and scientific literature. And, not unimportantly, an extensive collection of books on IT.

After looking around a bit, Jim left the book store with a new set of reading glasses, a book on the Go Programming Language and a history book on the Interbellum in Europe, i.e. the period between the First and Second World War.

The receipt is shown below (prices in Euros).

Assignment

First solve the exercises below manually, using pen and paper. Or use a spreadsheet if you like. Then try to solve them by writing a JavaScript program.

Assume the following:

  • The BTW on books is 6%.
  • The regular BTW is 21%.
  • €1 = $1.17

Exercise questions:

  1. What is the total Euro price incl. BTW and excl. BTW?
  2. If these items could be bought tax free, what would be the total price in US dollars?
