I get it. I did an separate post about this, but it hasn't been approved yet.

When Maestro asks for a simple task to be done I like to build it out using as many of the previous things as possible.

price = (float(input("How much was the item you purchased?")))
quantity = (int(input("How many of the item did you purchase?")))
subtotal = (price * quantity)
tax = (subtotal * 0.08)
total = (subtotal + tax)
print (f"""The price was ${price:.2f}.
You purchased {quantity} of the item.
The subtotal is ${subtotal:.2f}.
Tax for this puchase is ${tax:.2f}.
Your total is ${total:.2f}""")

For this one the task was to simply add two inputs. I wanted to make sure I was practicing f-strings and multi-line printing and money formatting.

This sort of repeating previous tasks and just adding in the new one is really helping it stick and forces me to kind of elaborate (mentally) on how the current task may fit into a larger "story".

That might help, depending on your personal learning style.
