Help with Exercise 3 — Last Chance Gas

Al's Last Chance Gas station sits on Route 190 on the edge of Death Valley. There is no other gas station for 200 miles.
You are to write a program to help drivers decide if they need gas. The program asks for:

  • The capacity of the gas tank, in gallons.
  • The indication of the gas gauge in percent
    (full= 100, three quarters full = 75, and so on).
  • The miles per gallon of the car.

There are 3 things to know so you should declare 3 variables:

int cap;
int gage;
int mpg;

And 1 thing to calculate:

int distance;

The program then writes out "Get Gas" or "Safe to Proceed"
depending on if the car can cross the 200 miles with the gas remaining in the tank.

Calculate how far the car can go with the gas you have:

Multiply cap X gage X mpg divided by 100 = distance you can travel

Translate this to Java:

if you can go < 200 miles print "Get Gas!"
otherwise print "Safe to Proceed"

Sample run of the program:

Tank capacity:  12  
Gage reading: 50
Miles per gallon: 30
Get Gas! ---------------------------------------------------- Also test it with a tank capacity of 20 gallons, 50 percent full, 20 mpg (just enough to make the trip) Try a tank that holds 25 gallons, is 75% full in a truck that only gets 12 miles to the gallon.

Use integers for all input and all arithmetic.
