How to Calculate the Safe Consumption Limit of Diet Soda Using Programming?

[brad sue]

HI,
I have this problem that I need to code . But I have problem about how to find the math method.

A government research lab has concluded that an artificial sweetener commonly used in diet soda will cause death in laboratory mice. A friend of yours is desperate to lose weight but cannot give up soda. Your friend wants to know how much diet soda it is possible to drink without dying as a result.
Write a program to supply the answer.
The input to the program is the amount of artificial sweetener needed to kill the mouse, the weight of the mouse, and the weight of the dieter. To ensure the safety of your friend, be sure that the program requests the weight at which the dieter will stop dieting, rather than the dieter‘s current weight. Assume that diet soda contains one tenth of 1% artificial sweetener.
Use a variable declaration with the modifier const to give a name to this fraction. You may want to express the percentage as .001.

Please can someone help me how to find the quantity of diet soda to drink without dying.
It seems simple but I don't get it.

Thank you

I would calculate the deadly amount of sweetener per unit of mass (from the firtst 2 inputs). If you multiply this with the third input you get the deadly amount of sweetener for the dieter. Multiplying the resoult by 100 should give you the amount of soda.

for reaching out for help with this problem. It can be overwhelming and confusing when trying to solve a problem without a clear method or approach. In this case, the problem can be solved using a mathematical equation and some basic programming concepts.

Firstly, we need to determine the quantity of artificial sweetener in one can of diet soda. As stated in the problem, diet soda contains one tenth of 1% artificial sweetener, which can be expressed as 0.001. We can declare this value as a constant variable using the modifier "const" and give it a name, such as "sweetenerPercentage". This will make it easier to use this value in our calculations later on.

Next, we need to ask for the input from the user. This includes the amount of artificial sweetener needed to kill a mouse, the weight of the mouse, and the weight at which the dieter will stop dieting. We can use the input() function to prompt the user for this information and store it in variables.

Once we have all the necessary information, we can use the following equation to calculate the maximum amount of diet soda that can be consumed without causing death:

maximum soda quantity = (sweetenerPercentage * sweetenerNeeded) / (weightOfMouse / weightOfDieter)

This equation takes into account the percentage of artificial sweetener in diet soda, the amount of sweetener needed to kill a mouse, and the weight ratio between the mouse and the dieter. The result of this equation will give us the maximum quantity of diet soda that can be consumed without causing death.

In summary, the key steps to solve this problem are to determine the necessary variables and their values, ask for user input, and use a mathematical equation to calculate the solution. I hope this helps to clarify the method for solving this problem. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out for help. Good luck!
