Stuggling with Super Sale Challenge

Question

I can't seem to get the hidden test #4 to pass. I have tried both int and floor together and separate. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

import math

items = (input()).split(",")

items.sort()
total = 0

for i in items[:-1]:
total += int(i)

savings = total * .3 * 1.07
print(int(math.floor(savings)))

Answer 1

Try
Items=([float(x) for x in input().split(",")])

Answer 2

Try converting to float already during input. Solved the problem for me, though I still don't fully understand it. In my solution I convert to float when calling the element from the list, before any mathematical operations are conducted. But hey, I can find peace now 🥴.
I'd be thankful for any explanation though.
