Bukit Gambang Water Theme Park is built on a natural hilly

terrain in Kuantan, Pahang. Since the Prime Minister of
Malaysia has allowed interstate travels for those who have
been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, this water theme
park is now re-opened.

Write a complete C++ program that will calculate the total

fees charged to the paying visitor and generate the receipt.
The program should receive the name of the payer, his/her
contact number and the number of tickets needed.

A visitor is allowed to purchase multiple tickets within one

receipt. For each ticket, the age and type of citizenship
should be specified. The following table shows the
admission fee for all age categories. The fees stated in the
 table is only applied for Malaysian citizens. Additional 15%
will be charged for foreigners.

Categor Fee

Adult (13-59 years old) 33
Senior citizen (60 years and above) 20

Visitors are also allowed to rent facilities if they are

interested. The number of facilities to be rented is
determined by the visitor (as long as he or she enters ‘Y’ for
“Yes”). The list of the rental items and price per unit is
shown in the following table:

Item (per unit) Rental
