Math

Apples

Author: Madeleine Ball

print "Let's do math!"

print "On Monday I picked 22 apples. On Tuesday I picked 12."

print "Now I have: ", 22 + 12

print "My brother says he picked twice as many apples last week."

print "This means he picked: ", (22 + 12) * 2

print "I have 3 friends I would like to give apples."

print "One third of my apples is about: ", (22 + 12) / 3

print "Or, more exactly: ", (22.0 + 12.0) / 3.0

Pascal
