i am making a program to give money to a group of people
lets say that i have to distribute 3000 among 12
people 6 of them are adult and will get 100%
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.
