Unless you can show what you've tried and how it failed the best advice I can give is to read perlintro and start to work on your assignment. Tutorials->PerlMonks for the Absolute Beginner, How do I post a question effectively?.

      With respect, you have the problem in English. Your assignment is to write a program in Perl to solve the problem. If you don't know where to begin perlintro or tutorials->Getting Started with Perl is the best place to begin.

      Thanks for admitting this is homework. It's a refreshing breath of honesty for such questions.

      I don't know where to start or how to start

      Start with the links that marto just gave you, combined with the textbook or class notes from the class you are taking.

      1. Figure out the math for how to solve that problem manually. It is a simple math problem, and if you are advanced enough in your education to be taking a class on Perl programming, you should be able to solve it. If you need help with the math, perlmonks isn't really the place, because that's a math question, not a Perl programming question.
      2. Translate that math into Perl syntax. Your textbook or class notes should have examples of how to do the simple math functions required.
