4. An online restaurant has a salary system based on position level. The salary is being paid on weekly
basis. The restaurant has a cook (salary on hour basis) and a salesperson (fixed salary and sales
commision). The following is the details of the salary payment for each position level:

Position level : Cook

Salary paid per week: First 30 hours at a fixed rate of RM 20.00 per hour. The next following hours,
ovrtime rate at 1.5% of the fixed rate hourly.

Position level: Salesperson

Salary paid per week: Fixed salary of RM200.00 plus commision 10% of the total sales per week.

Write a complete Java program that prompts user to enter cook's hours worked per week, and
salesperson's total sales per week. Display the weekly salary for both cook and salesperson.

The process to calculate the amount of weekly salary for the cook uses the method calcSalaryCook
(int hour) which returns the weekly salary for the cook, and for the salesperson the process uses the
method calcSalarySalesPer (double sales) which returns the weekly salary for the salesperson.
