Question

Suppose we can buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine for $1 each. Inside every chocolate bar is a coupon. We can redeem six coupons for one chocolate bar from the machine. This means that once you have started buying chocolate bars from the machine, you always have some coupons. We would like to know how many chocolate bars can be eaten if we start with N dollars and always redeem coupons if we have enough for an additional chocolate bar.For example, with 6 dollars we could consume 7 chocolate bars after purchasing 6 bars giving us 6 coupons and then redeeming the 6 coupons for one bar. This would leave us with one extra coupon. For 11 dollars, we could consume 13 chocolate bars and still have one coupon left. For 2 dollars, we could have consumed 14 chocolate bars and have two coupons left.Write a program that inputs a value for N and outputs how many chocolate bars we can eat and how many coupons we would have left over. Use a loop that continues to redeem coupons as long as there are enough to get at least one chocolate bar.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Using JavaScript:

/* program should take N input which represents the dollar amount and output how many chocolate bars and how many coupons we have*/

function chocolatebar(dollars){

var dollaramt= dollars;

var i;

for(i=0; i <= dollaramt; i++){

i=i+6

?

Alert ("you have 1 extra chocolate bar");

:

Alert ("keep buying chocolate bars to get more coupons for a bonus chocolate bar")

}

}
