    I've found out that there is a direct solution (i didn't get it myself, I just found out by searching, I solved the problem with while bucle like almost everybody).

    Code

    money = 10

cost = 2

extra = 2

boughtCandies = money / cost

result = boughtCandies + (boughtCandies - 1) / (extra - 1)

    Does anyone know the math basis or where this comes from, or where can I read about this?

    Thanks!
