Answer 1

Answer:

def add_prices(basket):

 

   total = 0

   for items in basket.values():

       total += items

   return round(total, 2)

groceries = {"bananas": 1.56, "apples": 2.50, "oranges": 0.99,"bread": 4.59, "coffee": 6.99, "milk": 3.39, "eggs": 2.98, "cheese":5.44}

print(add_prices(groceries)) # Should print 28.44

Explanation:

The python dictionary is a data structure that stores items of data as a key-value pair. The keys and values can be listed separately using the keys() and values() built-in function.

The program above uses a for loop statement to iterate over the values of the groceries dictionary to return the total sum of the values.
