Kaleidoscope

Question

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Frustration is getting to me.

customer = input()
price = 5.00

kaleidoscopes = int(customer) * int(price)
discount = int(kaleidoscopes) - 0.10
add_tax = int(discount) * 0.70

if int(customer) >= kaleidoscopes:
print(float(add_tax))
else:
print(price)

Answer 1

Read instructions carefully

total = price * customer

#if customer is more than 1 then get 10% discount on total

if customer > 1:
total = total - total * 0.1

#add 7% tax on total

total = total + total * 0.07

print(round(total, 2))

Answer 2

Did your challenge solve?

Check my answer again what I said.

discount should be calculate when purchase is greater than 1 but you are doing before that

And don't convert total to int

and what is 0.35 here

and also tax should be calculate after discounted amount

Answer 4

Thank you. Made it more difficult than it needed to be.

Answer 5

The math isn’t correct. For 1, the price should be 5.35. It comes out differently when I work on it outside of the challenge (as a code bit). I don’t understand what is causing the difference in math.

Answer 6

Did not.

I tried to change the math but only opened first two.

I recieved errors with the above code - it said a float is not callable and total was not a function.

purchase = int(input())
price = 5.00

total = int(purchase * price)

one = total + .35
discount = one - .90

if purchase > 1:

print(discount)

else:

print(one)

This is how I currently have it.

Answer 7

Apologies for the confusion with the last code, this one works for all but the first. My output is 5.0 and it needs to be 5.35

customer = int(input())
price = 5.00

total = customer * price

if customer > 1:
total = total - (total * 0.1)
total = total + (total * 0.07)

print(round(total, 2))

2nd last line should be outside the if block

You should clear your basic concepts
