Question

Captain Jack and his crew of pirates arrive in Tortuga after several weeks of plundering the high seas. Since the crew has been at sea for nearly a month, they are ready for a night of celebration. Jack doesn't want to divvy up the plunder just yet, so he gives each man in the crew other than himself and the first mate Mr. Gibbs 3 pieces of gold and sends them into town to celebrate. After the crew has gone, he and Gibbs count what's left and decide how to split it up among the crew. Jack takes 12% of the gold, which he counts out and hides in his cabin. Jack gives Gibbs 8% of the remaining gold, which Gibbs counts out and counts out and hides in his cabin. The next morning, the remaining gold is divided evenly among the members of the crew, including Jack and Gibbs. Little do they know that Cap'n Jack and Mr. Gibbs have already taken a cut. If the remaining treasure can't be split evenly, the bits that are left over are given to the Pirate's Benevolent Fund (PBF).

The problem is to compute how much gold each person gets and how how much goes to the PBF. A piece of gold cannot be split, so if some calculation yields a number that contains a fractional part, you can only give that person the integer part of the value. For example, if your program computed the captain's share as 25.67 pieces of gold, you could only give him 25 pieces of gold, not 25.67 pieces of gold. Warning, when you do any calculations do not round up. Simply drop the fractional part, but don't lose any gold from the overall total amount.

Your program should work for any reasonable set of inputs. It should ask a user for two pieces of information:

• How much gold the pirate ship came into port with, and
• How many pirates are on the ship, including Jack and Mr. Gibbs

The program should then split the gold and print out

• Jack's share
• Gibb's share
• The Crew share
• PBF Amount

Here's an example interaction showing user input and output:

Number of Pirates: 
20
Number of gold coins:
1000
Jack's share: 151
Gibb's share: 104
Crew: 38
PBF: 7

*the code should be written in Python.

Answer 1

code:

# read number of pirates
n=int(input('Enter number of Pirates\n'))
# read number of coins
total=int(input('Enter number of Coins\n'))

temp=total
#each crew takes 3 coins
total=total-(n-2)*3
# jack's share
js=12*total//100
total=total-js
# gibbs share
gs=8*total//100
total=total-gs
# crew share
cs=total//(n)
# final jack's share
js=js+cs
# final gibb's share
gs=gs+cs
print("Jack's share:" ,js)
print("Gibb's share:" ,gs)
print("Crew :",cs)
print("PBF:",temp-js-gs-(cs+3)*(n-2))
