To practice writing basic pseudocode for the solution of a problem
Assignment:
First solve each of the two problems shown below. (25 points each,
so make sure you show your work, no matter how simple you think it is)
Then write an algorithm for each of these two problems in pseudocode.(25
points each)
1) Ms. Shoe kept 2 meatballs for herself, then divided the others equally
among her 14 children. If each child got 5 meatballs, how many did Ms.
Shoe have to begin with ?
Tips about problem # 1 :
Your algorithm should allow Ms. Shoe to keep any number of
meatballs for herself. This amount should be specified by the
user.
The user should also specify the number of children
The user should also specify the number of meatballs
per child.
2) Ms. Match went to a store, spent half of her money and then $ 10
more. She went to a second store, spent half the money she had left
and then $ 10 more. She then had no money left. How much money did
Ms. Match have when she started out ?
Tips about problem # 2 :
Ms. Match must always have no money left at the end.
The user should specify the number of stores.
The user should specify the "amount more" that Ms. Match spends
at each store, but it will be the same amount at every store.
