We need to distribute math and history textbooks to students. There are 2 class sections: the first section has 18 pupils, and the second one has 19. The total number of books available for distribution is 76. Write a program to calculate and output how many books will be left after each student receives both books.

The question doesn't specify if there are enough of both types of books. Are there an equal number of each type or could there be 70 math texts and 6 history texts? Figure out what your code has to do before you start writing it. Here you want to multiply the total number of students by 2 and subtract from 76, i.e. 76 - (18 + 19) * 2 Then write a piece of Python that will print that out. If you post the code you've tried so far, we can help you with that.

num1 = 18 num2 = 19 num3 = (num1 + num2) * 2 num4 = 76 - num3 print(num4) its funny code =)

x=(76//2)%18 y=(76//2)%19 print(x+y)

Remainder We need to distribute math and history textbooks to students. There are 2 class sections: the first section has 18 pupils, and the second one has 19. The total number of books available for distribution is 76. Write a program to calculate and output how many books will be left after each student receives both books. Use the modulo operator (%) to get the remainder. But where is use (%)?
