TypeError unsupported opperands types

Question

Write a program to calculate the amount that will result from the doubling to understand which choice results in a larger amount.

I’m getting a typeError when running this any help will be appreciated. Thanks

a = 1000000
x = range(1, 31)
b = pow(0.01, x)
sum = 0
total = sum + b
if a > total:
print("a is great")
else:
print("total is great")

Answer 1

x is not a number, it's a range. Therefore, you cannot use it in pow function.

Answer 2
