 i am making a program to give money to a group of people

 6 them are children those will get 75% from the overall amount. 
 
 a common solution might appear as 
 
 divide 3000 to 12 which is 250
 give 250 to adults and 75% percent of it to children which is 187.5
 after this kind of calculation i have 375 more to give which was supposed to 
 be 
 equally distributed among them 
 
 can anyone understand my problem and assists me. 

$adultmoney = $totalmoney / ($adultnumber + 0.75 * $childnumber);
$childmoney = 0.75 * $adultmoney;

Re: [PHP] help me to solve this math maze

2007-04-04 Thread Satyam

You'll give 100 'units' to 6 of them, and 75 to 6, thus:

6 * 100 + 6 * 75 == 1050 units

Each 'unit' is valued at:

3000 / 1050 ==  2.8571

Thus, you give:

6 * 285.71 + 6 * 214.28  == 2999.94, and you may keep the change ;-)

pity you don't work as bank director Satyam (notice that in real
life it's the bank that always pockets the change ;-)
