Solution: Cakes
Here’s the solution.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// There are 2 cakes (one chocolate and one with raspberries).
// Each cake can be cut into 8 pieces.
int chocolatePieces = 8;
int raspberryPieces = 8;
int totalPieces = chocolatePieces + raspberryPieces;
System.out.println("Total pieces: " + totalPieces);
// There are 3 people (Mary, Bob and Jo).
// Mary wants 4 pieces of chocolate cake and 3 pieces of raspberry cake
// Bob wants 2 pieces of chocolate and 3 pieces of raspberry cake
// Jo wants 2 pieces of chocolate and 4 pieces of raspberry
// Is there enough chocolate cake?
int chocoMary = 4;
int chocoBob = 2;
int chocoJo = 2;
int chocoLeftOver = chocolatePieces - (chocoMary + chocoBob + chocoJo);
if (chocoLeftOver >= 0) {
System.out.println("There is enough chocolate cake");
}
// is there enough raspberry cake?
int raspMary = 3;
int raspBob = 3;
int raspJo = 4;
int raspLeftOver = raspberryPieces - (raspMary + raspBob + raspJo);
if (raspLeftOver < 0) {
System.out.println("There is not enough raspberry cake");
}
// if each of the people would want 2 pieces of the chocolate cake, how much of it would be left over?
int numberOfPeople = 3;
chocoLeftOver = chocolatePieces - (2*numberOfPeople);
System.out.println("There are " + chocoLeftOver + " pieces of chocolate cake left over");
// we get an additional small orange cake (4 pieces) and another hungry Larry.
// if everyone wants exactly 4 pieces, no matter what flavor, do we have enough?
int orangePieces = 4;
totalPieces += orangePieces;
numberOfPeople += 1;
int cakeLeftOver = totalPieces - (4*numberOfPeople);
if (cakeLeftOver >= 0) {
System.out.println("There is enough cake");
}
// if Bob ends up having a stomach ache just thinking about all the pieces and leaves,
// can we divide the pieces up amongst the other 3 people?
int numberOfPiecesPerPerson = totalPieces / 3;
System.out.println("Pieces per person: " + numberOfPiecesPerPerson);
int piecesLeft = totalPieces % 3;
System.out.println("Pieces left: " + piecesLeft);
