Problem #1 Calculating Olympic Prize Money The USOC pays Olympic athletes who win medals the following in prize money: Gold $25,000 Silver $15,000 Bronze $10,000
Calculating Olympic Prize Money How much money did they pay? Total (46/37/38) *** Michael Phelps (5/1/0) Katie Ledecky (4/1/0) Simone Biles (4/0/1) *** Treats a team medal as one prize, not multiple prizes.
Steps in solving this problem Identify the prize money for each medal type (constant over each athlete). Obtain the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals for the athlete (different for each athlete). For each medal type, multiply the medal count with it’s prize amount. Sum these three values to get total money won Display total amount of money won
We can do that !

Rules to Follow Always have a header comment block with a Title, Author, Comment, and Deadline See “Resources” page for Homework Submission Policy Take care of line wrap Good rule of thumb is not to have a line exceeding 60-70 characters Can look at “Col” field at bottom of IDLE to see where you are at
Rules to Follow Put a comment on top of each chunk of code for the human # Get the input for number of medals from user Use a consistent style camelCase c_style_naming Use constants Every time you have a literal number (like 25000) GOLD_PRIZE_AMOUNT=25000
