##### Woburn Challenge 2018-19 Round 3 - Junior Division

Jessie, James, and Meowth, members of the honourable Team Rocket, have unfortunately fallen on hard times. With their funds necessarily allocated to constructing all manner of giant robots and other devices, they've been having difficulty affording any food lately. But that's nothing that an honest day's work can't fix!

James has a can of leftover paint, containing litres of the stuff. When combined with his boundless collection of bottlecaps, this can result in some high-quality wares. When a bottlecap is artfully covered with litres of paint, it turns into a completely legitimate, Pokémon league-certified gym badge!

James will produce as many badges as he can using the paint, using exactly litres each. Pokémon trainers love their gym badges, so each such badge is sure to sell for Pokédollars.

There might still be some extra paint left over, once there's not enough for another complete badge. However, there's no need for it to go to waste - James will sell any remaining paint at a rate of Pokédollar per litre.

How much money will James make for Team Rocket in total, from his sales of badges and leftover paint? Hopefully it'll be enough for at least a loaf of bread!

#### Input Specification

The first line of input consists of a single integer, .
The second line consists of a single integer, .
The third line consists of a single integer, .

#### Output Specification

Output a single integer, the amount of money which James will make (in Pokédollars).

#### Sample Input

14
3
10

#### Sample Output

42

#### Sample Explanation

James has enough paint for badges, which he'll then sell for Pokédollars. That will leave him with unused litres of paint, which he'll sell for an additional Pokédollars.

Can somebody help me? I cannot understand this problem!

That took a lot of commenting in the code to get straight what was actually needing to be done. It was a good thing % and // were fresh in my mind

• commented on May 12, 2022, 4:52 p.m.

I can't get the right answer. I get 42.0 and not just 42

• commented on April 29, 2022, 9:58 a.m.

I don't get it what did I do wrong?

P = int(input()) L = P % 3 B = P//3 D = int(input())*B P = L + D print(P)

There are 3 integers in the input. It appears as if you are only reading two of them. Try reading the entire input as a start.

I don't understand how I'm supposed to solve this problem.

• commented on April 10, 2022, 10:51 p.m.

rather than using int(), use floor division // instead of division / this will only return integers

if you think your solution is correct and you keep getting the right result for test you have developed, try using int() in your for you final answer. I just found out that 42.0 and 42 are different :/

I am really stuck with this problem :( not able to find the solution

• commented on Dec. 9, 2021, 10:22 a.m.

A hint is to look up the modulo operator (%) and how to calculate remainders.

The part which says "With their funds necessarily allocated to constructing all manner of giant robots and other devices, they've been having difficulty affording any food lately." reminds me of the final days in the university when guys 😂 were looking for how to survive due to huge monies spent on final year project. Only those from ATBU can relate

• commented on Nov. 20, 2021, 8:15 a.m.

hahahahahahaha. I can also relate to my experience during my last year project plus research in university.

• commented on Oct. 30, 2021, 10:59 p.m.

I actually figured it out from the comments.

• commented on Oct. 30, 2021, 10:49 p.m.

I am not a native English speaker and i got no idea what this problem was. now i'm trying to figure it out through the comments.

• commented on July 12, 2021, 3:26 a.m.

This problem doesn't make logical sense.

• commented on Sept. 4, 2021, 5:41 p.m.

James has P liters of paint. Each cap he wants to paint costs B liters of paint. Each painted cap will sell of D dollars. After painting all the caps, the leftover paint will sell for 1 dollar/L.

OK thanks, you have made it more clear.
