# Note on Problem 14: original problem expects two answers; take the smaller one after rounding if needed.
# Extended logic ensures minimal price that meets or exceeds 3500, but adjust per statement.

# Problem 10 (machines) can also be derived from linear equations.

Branching Structure with Aples

A situation involving consuming apples over time requires careful condition checks. Consider m apples and a per-apple eating time t. The goal is to determine how many comlpete apples remain after a given duration s.

def remaining_apples(m, t, s):
    """
    Return the count of whole apples left after s time units,
    assuming m starting apples and t time units to finish one apple.
    Several edge cases exist: t = 0, s exceeding total time, partial bites, etc.
    """
    if t == 0:
        # Instant consumption – all apples gone immediately
        return 0

    total_time_needed = m * t
    if s >= total_time_needed:
        return 0

    consumed_completely = s // t
    # If a partial apple is being eaten at the exact moment, it is not counted as remaining.
    partial = 1 if s % t != 0 else 0
    eaten = consumed_completely + partial

    remaining = m - eaten
    return max(0, remaining)

# Example usage:
# m, t, s = 10, 2, 5  -> 7 apples left

This logic avoids floating-point inaccuracies by using integer division and modulo. When t is zero, all apples vanish instantly. If the elapsed time s covers the total eating duration exactly, no apples remain.
