With $P$ $P$ litres of paint and each badge requiring $B$ $B$ litres of it, James will produce $\lfloor \frac P B \rfloor$ $⌊ \frac{P}{B} ⌋$ badges. There will be $P - \lfloor \frac P B \rfloor \times B$ $P - ⌊ \frac{P}{B} ⌋ \times B$ litres of paint left over, which is equivalent to $P \bmod B$ $P mod B$ (the remainder when $P$ $P$ is divided by $B$ $B$ , written as the % operator in most programming languages). Therefore, the number of Pokédollars made will be $\lfloor \frac P B \rfloor \times D + (P \bmod B)$ $⌊ \frac{P}{B} ⌋ \times D + (P mod B)$ .
