The purpose of this first assignment is to get you used to the Pep/9 environment, simple input/output and arithmetic calculations.
A widget distributor receives a shipment of N widgets from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, one-eighth of them are not up to specification and cannot be shipped.
The remaining widgets are shipped to a central warehouse. A standard mailing box holds 16 widgets and costs $8 to mail.
Any widgets left over are shipped individually at a cost of $2 each.
Write and test a Pep/9 assembly language program that inputs N and outputs the total cost of mailing the widgets. (Cost may be approximate because of limitations of integer arithmetic Example
N = 300 widgets are received from the manufacturer
One eighth (37) are not up to specification leaving 263
Sixteen boxes of 16 can be filled leaving 7 widgets to be shipped individually
Total cost = (16 * $8) + (7 * $2) = $142
