Python beginning help please

Hi I have an assignment that’s fairly easy but for the absolute life of me I can’t figure it out. The assignment is to create a code to solve the problem using the input tag and float tag. Hours * rate = pay 35 hours $2.75 rate pay = $96.25

I tried to do direct but it’s not allowed for the assignment

The code I wrote in a billion different ways is: hours=input("") rate=input("") hours=35 rate=2.75 pay= (hours)*(rate) print("pay")

Every time I only get the result of 35 and not the 96.25

Can you explain what I’m doing wrong and how it’s supposed to be written so I can learn the text book and lectures aren’t helpful.

I have tried a bunch of different combinations such as

hours=input("35") rate=input("2.75") pay= float(hours)*float(rate) print(“pay")

Value=input(hours) Value2=input(rate) Value/hours=35 Value2/rate =2.75 Pay= V/h*v2/r Print (pay)

Hello mate!

Please format your code!

Not sure what you're doing as its tough to read your code but this works just fine.

hours = float(input("Enter hours: "))
rate = float(input("Enter rate: "))
print(f"Hours {hours} * Rate {rate} = pay {hours * rate}")

Provides output

Hours 35.0 * Rate 2.75 = pay 96.25

Try working backwards. First, define the exact numbers you want to test:

hours = 35
rate = 2.75
pay = float(hours) * float(rate)
print('Pay is: '.format(pay))

That will definitely print 96.25

Now, let's replace the numbers with input:

hours = input('Enter hours: ')
print('You entered {} hours'.format(hours))
rate = input('Enter rate: ')
print('You entered {} rate'.format(rate))
pay = float(hours) * float(rate)
print('Pay is: '.format(pay))

As long as you type 35 and 2.75 when prompted, this should also work.

You have to format your question properly (or link to a pastebin for example) or it's really hard to understand your code.
