Question

Given the following list of prices of taxable items, find the total price of the items including sales tax and enter it into the text box on the following screen.

Write your code once using a for loop to add the prices, then do it again, replacing your for loop with Python’s built in sum function.

•   The pre-tax cost of the items is: $2.99, $7.50, $29.99, and $6.99.
•   The sales tax is 5.75%.
•   Make sure to round your final answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

50.1999 can be 50.2

lst = [2.99, 7.50, 29.99, 6.99]

sumTotal = sum(lst)

sumTotalWithTax = sumTotal + 5.75*sumTotal/100

print(sumTotalWithTax)
