------

A company has come up with a promotion where customers have a 1 in n chance of winning a prize (for every product purchased). n is in the range from 1 to 50. Define a function that when passed the value of N, returns the number of products a customer must purchase to have a p% (p is a value between 0 and 100) or greater probability of winning at least one prize.


minPurchasesRequired(4, 40) → 2
minPurchasesRequired(10, 50) → 7
minPurchasesRequired(1, 99) → 1

...Save, Compile, Run (ctrl-enter)

int minPurchasesRequired(int n, int p) { }
