Python for beginners

Question

Please can someone explain how to solve this

When you go out to eat, you always tip 20% of the bill amount. But who’s got the time to calculate the right tip amount every time? Not you that’s for sure! You’re making a program to calculate tips and save some time.
Your program needs to take the bill amount as input and output the tip as a float.

Answer 1

* get input
* convert input to a numeric data type
* calculate 20% of this
* output the result

Answer 2

I did this and it was still an error

bill = float(input(1000 * 20/100))
Print(bill)

Answer 3

input() takes user input – do not write inside of this function!

First take input and convert it, THEN calculate with it:
bill = float(input()) * 0.2

Also, I don't understand why you put 1000 there? 20% means 20/100 or 0.2
