Question

I'm writing this little program in Python, I think I did most of it right however I can't find in the book on how to calculate the total; #'s are the start of notes and the none number signs are the program, but I'm sure the programming genius who does this for me already knows that :)

So the question is, I need the total bill cost, that is, food_charges+tip_rate+tax_rate with only two decimal places and preceded by a $ sign.

# Name, Class, Assignment, & Date.

# Variables for the following: Food Charges, Tip, Tax, and Total

food_charges = float(input("cost of meal"))

#Tip rate 15%

tip_rate = print(float(food_charges * .15))

# Tax rate 7%

tax_rate = print(float(food_charges * .07))

# Total

Explanation / Answer

#changes in bold

food_charges = float(input("cost of meal"))

#Tip rate 15%

tip_rate = print(float(food_charges * .15))

# Tax rate 7%

tax_rate = float(food_charges * .07))

print tax_rate

# Total

total = food_charges+tip_rate+tax_rate

print ("Total is $%.2f "%total)
