Data exists for ten items. Each line of data consists of a product name, price and discount %. You are required to read the data and complete the following tasks. For example, given: Shirt 120 25 The algorithm should print: Shirt 30 90 where "Shirt" is the product, 30 is the discount of 25% and 90 is the price after the discount.

Construct an algorithm to print the TOTAL amount of product discounts overall. If the total amount of discounts is greater than $500, print "Discounts exceeded."

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
