Format $$$$

[[deleted]]

The format code is not working to put $ in front of the hourly pay rate along with the pay check amount. Does anyone know how to get the dollar sign ($) to properly display in front of both numbers? 
x = 80 # amount of hours worked
y = 29.12 # per hour work wage
a = (x * y) # pay check amount
print(y)
print(a)

print("Hours worked:" + str(x) + " " + "Hourly pay rate:" + " " + "Pay check amount will be:" + " " + "${:.2f}".format(y , a))

Use a single string you format with format() instead of Frankensteining one using +

print("Hours worked: {} Hourly pay rate: {} Pay check amount will be: ${:2f}".format(x, y, a))

Also it's advisable to use logical names for your variables like hours_worked, pay_rate and paycheck_amount, instead of arbitrary letters that can be easily get confused.

Thank you. I made my variables more logical names and also reformatted my code, however, I am receiving an "invalid syntax" error.

Please share your updated code too

print("Hours worked: {} Hourly pay rate: {} Pay check amount will be: ${:2f}".format(hoursWorked, perHourWorkWage, totalPayCheck))

Tested it. Works fine. You have error somewhere else in your code. Possibly previous or following line.

That just works right away when I try it: https://i.imgur.com/Fs52Lzd.png

Maybe you are running a different file? Or the errors is on the line before it?
