Question

Answer this question on a new project. Use comments to explain how your program works, final cpp to be uploaded just like you do the assignments.

A box of biscuit is able to hold 10 biscuits,
A container is capable of holding 25 boxes (equivalent to 250 biscuits), and
A truck is capable of moving 5 containers (equivalent to 1250 biscuits).

Write a C++ program that takes in an order of biscuits as input, determines and outputs the following; how many fully loaded trucks it will take to move the order, along with the spare containers, boxes and leftover biscuits you will have left. (DO NOT USE ANYTHING NOT YET COVERED IN CLASS. ALSO, FOR ACCURATE RESULTS, USE INTEGER VARIABLES FOR ENTIRE PROGRAM)

Example Results,

For an input of 14926 biscuits,

it should output

It takes 11 truck(s), 4 container(s), and 17 box(es) to store the order

There are 6 leftover biscuits

For input 8163 biscuits,

it should output

It takes 6 truck(s), 2 container(s), and 16 box(es) to store the order

There are 3 leftover biscuits

5 points extra credit if your output looks EXACTLY as above

Explanation of Calculation

To determine the number of trucks, you are dividing the number of biscuits by how many a truck can store.

Take a 2950 biscuit order as an example,

2950 / 1250 gives you 2. So 2950 biscuits will need 2 trucks, which can store 2500 biscuits

There are 450 biscuits leftover. This cannot fill a truck so you find how many containers

similar process as above

450 / 250 gives you 1. So 450 biscuits will need 1 container which can store 250 of the biscuits

There are 200 biscuits left. (and so on and so forth)   

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int Biscuits;
    int trucks,containers,Biscuits_left,boxes=0; //intially all variables are taken as zero.
    cout << "Enter No of Biscuits:";
    cin >> Biscuits;
    trucks = Biscuits/1250; // calculates the trucks needed.
    Biscuits_left = Biscuits % 1250; // % used to calculate biscuits left after calculating the trucks needed.


    
    if(Biscuits_left>0) // it checks for the any buscits left
    {  
           containers =  Biscuits_left/250;
           Biscuits_left = Biscuits_left%250;
           if(Biscuits_left>0) // executes when any biscuits left after calculating the containers.
          { 
             boxes = Biscuits_left/10;
              Biscuits_left = Biscuits_left%10; //caluates the final result for biscuits left
            
             cout << " it takes " << trucks << " truck(s), " << containers <<" container(s), and " <<  boxes <<" Box(es) to store the order";
             cout <<"\n There are " << Biscuits_left <<" biscuits left";
          }
     }
    else // executes when there are no biscuits left after calculating the trucks
    { 
          cout << " it takes " << trucks << " truck(s), " << containers <<" container(s), and " <<  boxes <<" Box(es) to store the order";
          cout <<"\n There are " << Biscuits_left <<" biscuits left";
    }
    
    return 0;
}

output:
 
Enter No of Biscuits:14946
 it takes 11 truck(s), 4 container(s), and 19 Box(es) to store the order
 There are 6 biscuits left

Enter No of Biscuits:1250
 it takes 1 truck(s), 0 container(s), and 0 Box(es) to store the order
 There are 0 biscuits left

Enter No of Biscuits:151678
 it takes 121 truck(s), 1 container(s), and 17 Box(es) to store the order
 There are 8 biscuits left
