Hi, I need to know the formula to find A * B and half of B as many times as A, for example:


This needs to be with variables thats why I'm lost.

OK, I understand: A times B, right?
By "and" do you mean "plus?" If so, then so far we have A*B+...So: half of B means B/2, right? si we have A*B+B/2... Toes "as many times as" mean "times?" or what? If so then we have A*B+B/2*... Then, by my reckoning, we have A*B+B/2*A
Well, never mind. I can't see what your example has to do with your description. It's obvious that I have missed something.

Maybe you can restate the problem? Or, maybe, just maybe, someone else can see what the heck you are asking.

I sure can't.
If it's a contest, I win: I'm loster than you.

Regards,

Dave

Heheh... funny.
Lets say there are 2 hungry tomatoes. ( 2 )

Then each of the hungry tomatoes spawn 10 angry tomatoes a year. ( 2 * 10 )

Then each spawned angry tomatoe lays an egg and a half for every hungry tomatoe. ( 15 + 15 )

The spaceship that brought the tomatoes needs a formula to find how many tomatoe eggs there are using variables instead of the fixed numbers of tomatoes during 1 human year (33.33 Hungry Tomatoe years ).
