Hello everyone,
Today I have come across a very stupid calculation which I just cannot figure out how to solve. I already feel dumb enough as it is so yeah here goes:
The table on the right is where I fill in all the "resources" I have (this is for a game, I'm sorry if this isn't meant for any big purposes).
On the left is where I have excel calculate how many of the "Explosives" / "Rockets" / "C4" I'm capable of making.
The problem starts here...
I'm trying to see how many rockets I can make with my current resources...
These are the following recipe's:
Explosives x1
---------------
Sulfur x10
Metal fragments x10
LGF x3
Gunpowder x50
Rocket x1
---------------
Pipes x2
Gunpowder x150
Explosives x10
So as you can see is that I need to use gunpowder for both of the things.
So I can make 656 explosives, but not 81 rockets as right now it uses that 29863 gunpowder.
So I need to calculate how many explosives I can make to keep enough gunpowder left over to make the rockets with it.
So obviously its 650 gunpowder per rocket, but I need to know how many explosives I can make for the right amount of rockets...
This seems very stupid I know. I just really hope someone can help me with this!
Side note) the possible GP is how much gunpowder I can make with my current sulfur + charcoal, so I have the same issue there basically!
So basically its: with 5xA I can make 1xB.
with 1xA + 5xB I can make 1xC. So how many C can I make with 650 A. This is how I see the problem at least. I'm not sure if this example helped..
Thanks in advance!
