> Difficulty 5*
> Difficulty 5*
> Design an algorithm that separately asks users to input how many large, medium, and small pizzas they have ordered in a year. Once the total numbers of pizzas ordered has been added up, if they have ordered 20 or more pizzas the algorithm outputs "A reward card for a free pizza is on it's way!" Else, the algorithm outputs how many more pizzas they need to order to qualify for their next free pizza.

Challenge 21 - Making A Splash!
Challenge 21 - Making A Splash!
> Difficulty 5*
> Difficulty 5*
> Design an algorithm for a local swimming centre to calculate price discounts based on a member's age. Usually, the price is £2 per hour. However, if members are aged between 13 and 15 they receive a 30% discount. Else, if members are aged between 16 and 17 they receive a 20% discount and if members are aged 50 and over they receive a 40% discount. Else, other members receive no discount. The algorithm should ask the user to input how long they swam for and their age, and then output their total price to pay and the money they saved based on their discount.

Challenge 22 - Making The Grade.
Challenge 22 - Making The Grade.
> Difficulty 5*
> Difficulty 5*
> Design an algorithm that asks the user to input how many marks they got on a test, and how many marks the test was out of in total. It should then calculate what percentage of marks they got. Finally, it should convert this into a grade 9-1 (if they got 90% or more it is a grade 9, 80% or more is a grade 8 etc.) and output it. Else, if they scored below 10%, the algorithm should output their grade as a "U".
