Why this happens to floats?

Question

Hey guys, can anyone figure out why the result of this simple operation comes out wrong ?
(this a part of a bigger program)

btc = 0.00325911
doge = 0.431001
total = btc + doge

print(total) #output : 0.43426011000000003

Normally if we add those two numbers, the result is definitely different (0.43426011); but why in here it’s miscalculated ?
Thanks in advance for the answers🙏🏻
