The small town of Petticoat Junction has hired you to help solve a problem that recently appeared. A while back the town of Petticoat Junction changed the speed limits at several locations. Since then, their sheriff and deputy have been constantly writing speeding tickets. Now they have so many tickets they need you to write a program to calculate the cost of the tickets.
The fine for speeding tickets in Petticoat Junction is calculated as follows:
Examples:
If the speed limit is 30 and the ticketed vehicle was traveling at 36 mph, the fine would be $35 + 6x$5, for a total of $65.
If the speed limit is 45 and the ticketed vehicle was traveling at 65 mph, the fine would be $35 + 14x$5 +6x$9, for a total of $159.
As you can see, speeding is a very expensive proposition in Petticoat Junction. Below are some samples from their data file with the ticket information. Each record has three numbers. The first number is the ticket number, the second number is the speed limit, and the third number is the clocked speed of the vehicle. You are to keep processing until you encounter ticket number -1.
Sample Input Data:
13975
30
36
14362
45
65
13977
65
101
-1
Sample Output:
Ticket # 13975 MPH over: 6 Fine: $65
Ticket # 13462 MPH over: 20 Fine: $159
Ticket # 13977 MPH over: 36 Fine: $303
Totals: 3 tickets for a total fine of $527
Spacing across the lines are not critical. Columns are not required to line up, but each line should have three distinct portions. A blank line must separate the last ticket from the totals line.
