Question

Write a Python 3 program that will compute the total cost of an amazon purchase. The program should ask the user to enter the amount of a purchase, then calculate a 12% shipping and handling fee and NJ sales tax (7%). Your program should show the itemized bill.

Answer 1

Answer:

price = float(input("Enter amount of a purchase: "))

shipping_price = 0.12* price

NJ_sales_Tax = 0.07*price

print('The price of item is {}'.format(price))

print('The Cost of Shipping is {}'.format(shipping_price) )

print('New Jessey Sales Tax is {}'.format(NJ_sales_Tax))

total_bill = shipping_price+NJ_sales_Tax+price

print('Total Bill {} ' .format(total_bill))

Explanation:

• Prompt User for input of the amount of purchase
• Calculate the shipping cost (12% of purchase price)
• Calculate the tax (7% of the purchase price)
• Use python's .format method to output an itemized bill
