From the lesson: Python Numbers: Integers, Floats, and Math You'll Actually Use

You're splitting a restaurant bill with three friends. The total is $85. How much does each person owe? You grab your phone calculator, but a Python programmer just types 85 / 4 and gets the answer instantly.

Read the lesson

This code is supposed to split 10 pizzas equally among 3 groups and report how many are left over. But it's using the wrong division operators!

Fix the code so the output is:

Each group gets 3 pizzas
Leftover pizzas: 1

total_pizzas = 10

groups = 3

# Bug: using the wrong division operators

pizzas_each = total_pizzas / groups

leftover = total_pizzas / groups

print(f"Each group gets {pizzas_each} pizzas")

print(f"Leftover pizzas: {leftover}")
