The Really Awesome Computing Corporation (RACC) has decided they want to give everyone in the company (all 10 employees) a 9% raise for all of their hard work. However, before this happens, RACC has to make sure they can afford such a jump in payroll costs. Write an efficient program that will prompt for the names and current salary for each of the employees within the company. Salaries must be valid (between $0 and $95,000, inclusive), or the user should be re-prompted. Once data for all 10 employees have been entered, calculate and print the employee name and individual pay increases for each employee, as well as the total cost for the proposed increase across all employees.
