When accuracy is essential floats are not used to represent


This is for CS 200 not sure what i keep doing wrong python 3 coding:

2.13 Program: Food receipt (Python 3)

Note: When accuracy is essential, floats are not used to represent currency due to rounding and accumulation errors. Python provides several primitives specifically developed to implement financial applications. However, these topics are beyond the scope of this lab.

(1) Prompt the user to input a food item name, price, and quantity. Output an itemized receipt.

Enter food item name: hot dog
Enter item price: 2
Enter item quantity: 5

RECEIPT
5 hot dog @ $ 2.0 = $ 10.0
Total cost: $ 10.0

(2) Extend the program to prompt the user for a second item. Output an itemized receipt.

Enter food item name: hot dog
Enter item price: 2
Enter item quantity: 5

RECEIPT
5 hot dog @ $ 2.0 = $ 10.0
Total cost: $ 10.0


Enter second food item name: ice cream
Enter item price: 2.50
Enter item quantity: 4

RECEIPT
5 hot dog @ $ 2.0 = $ 10.0
4 ice cream @ $ 2.5 = $ 10.0
Total cost: $ 20.0

(3) Extend again to output a third receipt that adds a mandatory 15% gratuity to the total cost. Output the total cost, the cost of gratuity, and the grand total.

Enter food item name: hot dog
Enter item price: 2
Enter item quantity: 5

RECEIPT
5 hot dog @ $ 2.0 = $ 10.0
Total cost: $ 10.0


Enter second food item name: ice cream
Enter item price: 2.50
Enter item quantity: 4

RECEIPT
5 hot dog @ $ 2.0 = $ 10.0
4 ice cream @ $ 2.5 = $ 10.0
Total cost: $ 20.0

15% gratuity: $ 3.0
Total with tip: $ 23.0

This is what I did and my code is wrong on the very last part specifically line 20 please help

# FIXME (3): Add a gratuity and total with tip to the second receipt

(line 20 where it says im wrong)

tip: =0.15 * (item_Qty * item_Price + item_Qty2 * item_Price2))
