- This is a menu driven program and you will be asked to choose which
- module you would like to use according to the number you enter.
-
- This program handles percentages. There is a display of an
- example, then you are requested to respond to the ? prompt.
- Calculations will be performed and the resultant display will be the
- answer to the problem. Although you cannot see your whole sentence
- at one time for your problem, you can examine the example to see
- what will be forthcoming.
