Ballpark order

Question

I have approached this code coach from several different ways. They all pass except test 4. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions.
1 approach was list, for loops another was dictionary and for loops.
Seems like I’m overthinking this

Answer 1

I'd use a dictionary to store all available options as the key and their price as the value.
Then use a variable to store the total before tax.
Loop over the 4 input items (split into a list).
In the loop check if the item is in the dictionary and if so add its value to the total. If not add the value of a coke to the total.
Then calculate the tax for the total and add it to the total for output. Make sure the output format matches having 2 places after the decimal.

Answer 2

Thank you for the help, added the format, had the rest. Still fails test 4. Will continue to solve this challenge

Answer 3

solved, took another look and found that i misspelled Nachos in the dictionary, thanks again

Answer 4

@ChaoticDawg thanks so much for your comment. You helped me figure out what I was missing (a check for items not on the menu)!

Answer 5
