Write a program that prompts the user to enter the values of a, b, and t, and outputs the number of dishes that can be prepared in the allocated time t and the amount of time remaining (see Sample Run below) Sample Run Enter the number of minutes to prepare first dish: 6 Enter how many more minutes to prepare the next dish: 4 Enter the total time (in minutes) to prepare all the dishes: 57 In 57 minute(s) the pastry cook can prepare 4 dishes with 9 minutes unused.

Answer 1

//C++ CODE save it as filename.cpp

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main(){
   int a, b , t;
   cout<<"Enter the number of minutes to prepare first dish: ";
   cin>>a;
   cout<<"Enter how many more minutes to prepare the next dish: ";
   cin>>b;
   cout<<"Enter the total time (in minutes) to prepare all the dishes: ";
   cin>>t;
   int number_of_dishes = 0;
   int remaining = t;
   int current_time = a;
   while(1){
       if(remaining>=current_time){
           number_of_dishes++;
           remaining = remaining - current_time;
           current_time = current_time + b;

       }else{
           break;
       }
   }
   cout<<"In "<<t<<" minutes(s) the pastry cook can prepare "<<number_of_dishes<<" dishes with "<<remaining<<" minutes unused.";
   return 0;
}
