The Problem

PricePackager is responsible for taking existing products and repackaging them for sale at electronic stores.

Companies contact PricePackager, explain what the item is, and PricePackager returns the marked up value of item.

• Without exception, there is a flat markup on all products of 5%
• Some items need work done on them by humans, so for each person that needs to work on the item, there is an additional markup of 1.2%

Markups are also added depending on the types of item:

• If they are pharmaceutical, there is a 7.5% markup
• If they are food, there is a 13% markup
• If they are electronic, there is a 2% markup
• Everything else has no additional markup.

The flat markup is calculated first and then all other markups are calculated on top of the base price plus the flat markup.

Example 1:

Input:  1299.99, 3 people, food

Base Price:     1299.99
Flat Markup:    5% = 64.9995
Subtotal:       1364.9895
Persons Markup: 3 * 1.2% = 3.6% = 49.139622
Type markup:    13% = 177.448635
Total:          1591.577757

Output: 1591.58

Example 2:

Input:  5432.00, 1 person, pharmaceutical

Base Price:     5432
Flat Markup:    5% = 271.6
Subtotal:       5703.6
Persons Markup: 1 * 1.2% = 4.8% = 68.4432
Type markup:    7.5% = 427.77
Total:          6199.8132

Output: 6199.81

Example 3:

Input:  12456.95, 4 people, books

Base Price:     12456.95
Flat Markup:    5% = 622.8475
Subtotal:       13079.7975
Persons Markup: 4 * 1.2% = 4.8% = 627.83028
Type markup:    0
Total:          13707.62778

Output: 13707.63
