The given exchange rate is 1 KES = 0.65 INR. This means that for every Kenyan
shilling, you need 0.65 Indian rupees.
To find out how many shillings you can get for a certain amount of rupees, you need to
rearrange the formula.
Conversion Formula
To convert INR to KES, you use the formula:
KES
=
INR
0.65
KES=
0.65

3. A grocery store offers a 10% discount on all purchases. Write a program that asks the
user for the total amount of their purchase, applies the discount and prints the total.

Solution

Explanation

we set a variable discount_rate to represent a 10% discount

discount_amount computes the final amount after subtracting the discount from the original
total.
Return Value:
The function returns the final amount after applying the discount.

5. You go out for dinner with your friends and need to split the bill equally, how will you do
so by taking input of the bill amount and number of friends?

Solution

Laboratory Week 3

Explanation

It checks if the number_of_friends is greater than zero to avoid division by zero.

Calculate Amount Per Person:
If the number of friends is valid, it calculates amount_per_person by dividing the total_bill
by number_of_friends

6. You have a certain amount of total work(n) that needs to be shared among a fixed
number of workers m. Write a program to calculate the amount of work for each worker
and how much extra work is left. Take input for no. of work and no. of workers.

eg:
n = 100
m=6

work on each worker = 16

extra work left = 4

Explanation

  You need to take two inputs:

o The total amount of work nnn (e.g., number of tasks, hours, etc.).
o The number of workers mmm (how many people will do the work).
 Output Requirements:

Laboratory Week 3

 The program should calculate:

The amount of work each worker should perform.
The amount of work that remains after dividing the total work among the workers
(if any).
Expected Operations:
 Division: To determine how much work each worker gets, you would perform an integer
division of nnn by mmm.
 Modulus: To find out if there is any leftover work after the distribution, you would use the
modulus operation.

7. Tiling of a rectangular floor is performed. Write a program that calculates the number of
tiles required and the total cost to tile the entire floor. Take the dimensions of the floor
and the size and price of each tile as input from the user. Also consider labor charges.

Input:

Explanation

This program effectively calculates how many tiles are needed to cover a rectangular
floor and provides a detailed breakdown of costs involved in tiling, including both
materials and labor charges. It incorporates user input validation to ensure that all
entered values are numeric and valid for calculations.

8. Two persons A and B are conducting a Chemical experiment. In which A is user element
D and E in ratio of 2:1 and B uses the ratio of 4:3, calculate the mass of the compound if
each generates a 1 mole gram of substance given that the mass of D is 1 unit(amu) and
E is 5 units(amu). Take the values from the user.
Hint - Consider using split() method on the input string
eg-
"1:2".split(":") # [‘1’,’2’]
a,b = "1:2".split(":") # a <- '1' ; b <- ‘2
a,b = int(a), int(b) # type casting char/string to integers
