Question

Python Practice Sample:

Given the starter code:

ITEM_COST = 302.48

TAX_RATE = 0.06

QUANTITY = 13

NAME = "goodie"

CONTAINER = "bag"

Write a loop that prints the output formatted as below:

$ 320.63 goodie01bag

$ 641.26 goodie02bag

$ 961.89 goodie03bag

$ 1,282.52 goodie04bag

$ 1,603.14 goodie05bag

$ 1,923.77 goodie06bag

$ 2,244.40 goodie07bag

$ 2,565.03 goodie08bag

$ 2,885.66 goodie09bag

$ 3,206.29 goodie10bag

$ 3,526.92 goodie11bag

$ 3,847.55 goodie12bag

Note that the item name is formed by concatenating NAME followed by the string representation of a number between 1 and 12 followed by the CONTAINER. The string representation of the number is preceded by a 0 if the number is less than 10. The cost is the item cost multiplied by the corresponding quantity (1 through 12) multiplied by (1 + TAX RATE) The value is formatted right justified in a field of 9 with 2 after the decimal, and commas for values > 1000. A tab character separates the two values in each line. The amounts are right justified.

Answer 1

Code:

ITEM_COST = 302.48 # given Cost 
TAX_RATE = 0.06 # tax rate
QUANTITY = 13   # quantity
NAME = "goodie" # name
CONTAINER = "bag"   # container
for i in range(1,QUANTITY):  # for loop to find the result
    ITEM_NAME = NAME+str(i).rjust(2,'0')+CONTAINER  # creating the name
    TOTAL_COST = ITEM_COST * (i) * (1+TAX_RATE) # calculating total cost
    COMMA_FORMAT = "{0:,.2f}".format(TOTAL_COST) # formatting the Value
    print('$'+str(COMMA_FORMAT).rjust(9,' ')+'\t'+ITEM_NAME ) # printing the result in given format with rjust of 9
