into Fahrenheit and then calculate the average weekly temperatures. The program should output the
calculated average in degrees Fahrenheit. (5 marks)
2. (a). Develop a Pseudocode which will simulate the processing of Student’s report. The simulation
should be such that the user repeatedly inputs marks per subject for six subjects using a looping
control structure. The computer processes the total marks and mean score of the student.

3. A man deposits 1,000 in a bank at an interest rate of 10% per year. At the end of each year, the interest
earned is added to the amount on deposit and this becomes the new deposit for the next year.

for each year, print the year (starting from 1), the deposit, the Interest earned, and the total accumulated
at the end of the year.
