Question

Write a Python function that takes as input parameters base_cost (a float) and customer_type and prints a message with information about the total amount owed and how much the tip was. You may recognize this program from HW1. We'll write a very similar program, just modifying it and using string formatting. Feel free to copy/paste code from before and modify it. As a reminder, the tip amounts are 10%, 15% and 20% for stingy, regular, and generous customers. And the tax amount should be 7%. The total amount is calculated as the sum of two amounts: check_amount = base_cost*1.07 tip_amount = tip_percentage*check_amount To receive full credit, you must use string formatting to print out the result from your function, and your amounts owed should display only 2 decimal places (as in the examples below). To "pretty print" the float to a desired precision, you will need to use this format operator (refer back to class slides for more explanation): %.2f Print the results to the console like in the example below, including the base cost of the meal, tax, three tip levels, and total for regular customers. Test cases: inputs: check_amount = 20, customer_type = "regular" --> output: Total owed by regular customer = $24.61 (with $3.21 tip) inputs: check_amount = 26.99, customer_type = "generous" --> output: Total owed by generous customer = $34.66 (with $5.78 tip) inputs: check_amount = 26.99, customer_type = "generous" --> output: Total owed by stingy customer = $16.83 (with $1.53 tip)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Thanks for the question, here is the code in python

The 3rd example given in question is incorrect

inputs: check_amount = 26.99, customer_type = "generous" --> output: Total owed by stingy customer = $16.83 (with $1.53 tip)

the customer type in the above passed is generous but why the output is showing for stingy, I think this is incorrect

Here is the function, I have given explanatory names so that you can follow the code precisely and also used pretty formatting.

thank you !

===================================================================

def print_tip(base_cost, customer_type):

   TAX_PERCENTAGE = 1.07

   STINGY_PERCENTAGE = 0.1

   REGULAR_PERCENTAGE = 0.15

   GENEROUS_PERCENTAGE = 0.20

   check_amount = base_cost * TAX_PERCENTAGE

   tip_amount = 0.0

   if customer_type == 'regular':

       tip_amount = check_amount * REGULAR_PERCENTAGE

   elif customer_type == 'generous':

       tip_amount = check_amount * GENEROUS_PERCENTAGE

   elif customer_type == 'stingy':

       tip_amount = base_cost * STINGY_PERCENTAGE

   total_amount = tip_amount + check_amount

   print('Total owed by {} customer = ${} (with ${} tip)'.format(customer_type, '%.2f' % total_amount,'%.2f' % tip_amount))

print_tip(20, 'regular')

print_tip(26.99, 'generous')

print_tip(14.99, 'stingy')
