Kindly use the search bar! It is an FAQ Solution: import math print(math.ceil(200/int(input())))

Your approach is right try may be you can solve see logics Input value houese houses dollarHouses = 2; prob = 0; prob = 100 - ((houses - dollarHouses)* 100 // houses); print(prob)

I wrote this code , apparently it works with certain inputs but won't work with others so i guess i am stuck . houses = int(input()) s= 2 / houses * 100 print (round(s))

I did it, int totalHouses = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()); // Calculate the number of dollar bills received int numDollarBills = 2; int numToothbrushes = 1; int numCandies = totalHouses - numDollarBills - numToothbrushes; // Calculate the percentage chance of getting a dollar bill double dollarChance = (double)numDollarBills / (double)totalHouses * 100; int roundedDollarChance = (int)Math.Ceiling(dollarChance); Console.WriteLine(roundedDollarChance);
