Question 50

An automated cargo logistics drone uses the algorithm shown below to determine how many delivery drops can be completed from a given initial payload weight.

constant BASE_PARCEL ← 180
constant CONTAINER_TARA ← 40
OUTPUT 'Enter total initial payload in kg'
payload ← USERINPUT
dropWeight ← BASE_PARCEL + CONTAINER_TARA
dropsCompleted ← 0
REPEAT
    payload ← payload - dropWeight
    dropsCompleted ← dropsCompleted + 1
UNTIL payload ≤ 50

Complete the trace table below for when the user enters the value 700 at the prompt.
