Answer to Question #278941 in Python for mari

Question

A box of cookies can hold 24 cookies, and a container can hold 75 boxes of cookies. Write a python

program that prompts the user to enter the total number of cookies, the number of cookies in a

box, and the number of cookie boxes in a container. The program then outputs the number of

Boxes and the number of containers to ship the cookies. Note that each box must contain the

specified number of cookies, and each container must contain the specified number of boxes. If

the last box of cookies contains less than the number of specified cookies, you can discard it and

output the number of leftover cookies. Similarly, if the last container contains less than the

number of specified boxes, you can discard it and output the number of leftover boxes.

Answer 1

cookies = int(input('total number of cookies: '))
in_box = int(input('number of cookies in a box: '))
in_container = int(input('number of cookie boxes in a container: '))


if in_box > 0 and in_container > 0:
	boxes = cookies//in_box
	containers = boxes//in_container
	cookies = containers * in_container * in_box


	print(f"need {containers} containers and {boxes} boxes to ship {cookies} cookies")
