The following rules determine the annual bonus to be paid to a salesman of a company based on the total annual amount of the sales made (referred to as TAS).
If the TAS is between 50k€ and 80k€, the bonus is 10%. If the TAS exceeds 80k€ by a value not greater than 40k€, the bonus is 15%. Finally, if the TAS
exceeds the maximum threshold which entitles to a 15% bonus, the bonus is 22%.

The member must register theircell phone number.
The member must register thecredit cardin the payment system.
The member must select apayment method (monthly or annual).
The member mustaccept the terms and conditionsfor the selected method.
If terms and conditions are accepted, the system sends anOTP(one-time password) to the member’s phone for verification.

Scenario 1 “Happy Tomatoes” (used for questions 20-22):
An intelligent application for agricultural use incorporates temperature sensors located at different points of an enclosure. The sensors measure and record the temperature at regular intervals and extract the statistical values for these measurements. These values include the average daily temperature.
A new variety of tomatoes is currently being grown and the“World Organization for Happy Tomatoes”has established temperature ranges related to vegetative development.
When the system establishes that the average temperature is within a specific range, it emits a value that will be used to monitor and control the crop.
