Pls help me understand what’s wrong with my code

Question

paints = int(input())

x= ((paints*5 + 40)+((paints*5+40)//10))
import math
math.ceil(x)
print (x)

Here’s my code and the task will be in the comments. I can’t pass two hidden tests so I don’t know what’s wrong

Answer 1

Because you use // to cut the number lower than itself while this test asks you to round up

I will attach the code to you in a few minutes

Answer 2

to fix your original code,

lose the hard division as Mohammad mentioned.

set x equal to math.ceil(x)

print out the int() version of x
