Question

import math
numbers = input()

numbers_list = list(map(int, numbers.split(",")))

highest = max(numbers_list)
remaining = [num for num in numbers_list if num != highest]

sum_remaining = sum(remaining)

tax = sum_remaining*0.07
discount = sum(remaining)*0.3

discounted_items = sum_remaining-discount
new_price =discounted_items+highest+tax

savings = sum(numbers_list) - new_price

print(round(savings))

This is my code for the super sale quizz. But I only get 4 right of 7.

Can anyone help me. It's in Python

Joakim Lindstrom ,

a quite nice code, but some issues should be fixed:

> input numbers should be mapped to float, not to int
numbers_list = list(map(float, numbers.split(",")))

> the second part of the code where the discount will be calculated looks a bit too complicated - see my sample.

> do not use any rounding, just convert the final discount to int.

> calculating the tax should use 1.07 not 0.07

# your code:
numbers = input()
numbers_list = list(map(float, numbers.split(",")))
highest = max(numbers_list)
remaining = [num for num in numbers_list if num != highest]
sum_remaining = sum(remaining)
# new:
discount = sum_remaining * 0.3 * 1.07
print(int(discount))
