how to get token count to 55 from 60

Answer 1

first replace da and hra
sal=basic+(0.8*basic)+(0.4*basic);

I think code wise this is not a improvement, but the goal seems to get rid of some tokens.

second
sal=2.2*basic;
merge 3 instructions in to 1. 1+0.8+0.4 = 2.2

The next user won't have a clue what this factor stands for but it does produces the same result as the previous statement.

last
place the calculation in the printf statement.
printf("%.2f",2.2*basic);

Now you use less tokens.

Please do not consider this as good practice, it make your code hard to maintain.
