Section 02 (75 marks)
1. Read the following scenario and write the pseudocode. (8 marks)
A program is required to calculate and print the annual interest amount of the credit card
depending on the credit limit and the annual interest rate. User enters the credit card type
and credit limit to the program as a user input.
The interest rate for each card type can be determined as follows:

Card Type Annual Interest Rate


Platinum(P) 20%
Gold(G) 10%
Silver(S) 5%
The annual interest amount for each card type can be determined as follows:

Annual Interest Amount = Credit Limit * Annual Interest Rate


Sample Output:
Enter Card Type: P
Enter Credit Limit:50000
The Annual Interest Amount: 10000
