while loops (python)

Question

Joe just graduated college and has been offered his first real job as a widget designer at Widgets USA, Inc. He is disappointed in the offered beginning salary; only $20,000 per year. But he is promised a 10% raise each year. Other job opportunities offer more to start, but have no promised raises. To help Joe decide, print out a table of his new salary each year until his salary reaches or exceeds $50,000. (How many years will it take?)

Using a while loop and in python form, how would I start this ?

Answer 1

salary = 20000

yearNum = 0

while (salary<50000):

print(" Year # " + str(yearNum) + ": salary " + str(salary))

salary = float(salary)*1.10

yearNum = int(yearNum+1)
