Tickets are available for 3 different blocks of seats at the prices shown below:
BLOCK CODE PRICE PER TICKET

If a person buys more than 100 tickets, there is a discount of 15% off the total.
A program is needed to do the following:
Accept the block code (VIP, A or B) and the quantity of tickets wanted. Calculate and display the
total each person must pay after discount.
Use a FOR LOOP to repeat the input 500 times. Accumulate or count the required totals.
When there is no more input, display the following (with meaningful messages):
a. the total quantity of tickets sold for the VIP block
b. the total price after discount for all of the tickets sold
c. the total number of people who received a discount
DO THE FOLLOWING:
1a. Write the pseudocode for the program. [ 25 marks ]
You MUST use NESTED IF statements to calculate the price per ticket.

b. Males; age equal to 18 years; weight less than 60 kgs
c. Age equal to 20 or age equal to 30; weight between 55 kgs and 58 kgs

ACCEPT X, Y, Z
V = X * Y + 5 * (Z – 17)
IF V - 2 <= X + Y + Z THEN
Z = Y ^ 3
ELSE
Z = Y * 3
END IF
SELECT CASE Z
CASE 20
DISPLAY “X ” X
CASE 8
DISPLAY “Y Y ”
CASE ELSE
DISPLAY V “ V ”
END SELECT
END
