i have to solve it

Question

SAY IT SOLVED

You are playing a game at your local arcade, and you receive 1 ticket from the machine for every 12 points that you score. You want to purchase a squirt gun with your tickets. Given your score, and the price of the squirt gun (in tickets) are you able to buy it?

Task
Evaluate whether or not you have scored high enough to earn enough tickets to purchase the squirt gun at the arcade.

Input Format
The first input is an integer value that represents the points that you scored playing, and the second input is an integer value that represents the cost of the squirt gun (in tickets).

Output Format
A string that say 'Buy it!' if you will have enough tickets, or a string that says 'Try again' if you will not.

Sample Input
500
40

Sample Output
Buy it!

code :

points = int(input())
cost = int(input())
if ((points/(12*cost))>=1):
print("Buy it!")
else :
print("Try again")

Answer 1

What have you tried so far? Would you share, so that we can find issues in your code, please?

Answer 2

Okay, Lets look at the whole problem.

Lets say i have 200 points and the prize i want is 10 tickets. (The input would be 200, then 10)

I can exchange POINTS for tickets at a rate of 12 points/per ticket

To know how many tickets i can get from my points i need to divide my TICKETS by 12, right?

What about the extra points? They dont matter because they arent enough for another ticket so...

200 // 12 = 16 (16 is the amount of tickets i could get)

Remember, the prize was 10 tickets, so if my tickets(16) minus the price(10) is over 0, then i can buy the prize!

Answer 3

Your variables are good.
your if statement should be:

if (points//12) - cost >= 0:

I want you to know WHY though

Answer 4

points=int(input())
cost=int(input())

#Use this condition to solve it.
if (points//12)>=cost:
print("Buy it!")
else:
print("Try again")

#Try to find how it works.

Answer 5

Alright cool, can you post your attempt please? It'll be much easier to help

Answer 6

Also you may want to take off all the redundant parenthesis. Especially the one after ">=1"

Answer 7

points = int(input())
cost = int(input())
if ((points/(12*cost))>=1):
print("Buy it!")
else :
print("Try again")

#what is the mistake here

Answer 8

Its the setup in your equation. Take the equation out of the code.

This is yours:
points / (12 * cost)

The problem says for every 12 points you get 1 ticket. So that would mean: points // 12 = ticket. ( "//" is not a typo) I think you got it from here

Answer 9

Slick yes i have also tried it... but its not working!!

Answer 10

Slick no change after removing parentheses

Answer 11

Post your updated code, lets see what you have now.

Answer 12

points = int(input())
cost = int(input())
if (points//(12*cost))>=1:
print("Buy it!")
else :
print("Try again")

updated

Answer 13

Slick didnt get u.... please tell me whats the mistake in my code

Answer 14

points = int(input())
tickets = int(input())

if int(points / 12) >= tickets:
print("Buy it!")
else:
print("Try again")

Answer 15

c=int(input())
d=int(input())
e=d*12
if c>=e:
print("Buy it!")
else:
print("Try again")
try this it will execute!

Answer 16

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int points,rate;

scanf("%d %d",&points,&rate);

if(points/12<rate){

printf("Try again");

}else if(points/12>=rate){

printf("Buy it!");

}

return 0;
}
