Answer:
The solution code is written in Python:
- a = int(input("Input first dish time: "))
- b = int(input("Input extra minutes: "))
- t = int(input("Input time available: "))
-
- dishesCount = 1
- currentTotal = a + b
-
- while(currentTotal <= t):
- dishesCount += 1
- currentTotal += currentTotal + b
-
- print("Number of dishes can be prepared: " + str(dishesCount))
Explanation:
Firstly, prompt user to input the first dish time, extra minutes and time available and assign the values to variable a, b and t, respectively (Line 1-3).
Next, create variable dishesCount to hold the number of dishes can be prepared (Line 5).
Get the current total time by adding a and b and assign it to variable currentTotal (Line 6).
While the currentTotal is less than or equal to t, increment the dishesCount by one and then add the hour of current dish to the currentTotal (Line 9-10).
At last, display the number of dishes that can be prepared in t minutes (Line 12).
