bill_amount = int(input()) tip = bill_amount * 20 / 100 Print(tip) The input function outputs always a string even if you type a number, thats why i used int() to convert string into an integer. The variable tip calculates 20% of the input and the result will be a float because we used this “/“

Ferdaws Kukcha When you go out to eat, you always tip 20% of the bill amount. But who’s got the time to calculate the right tip amount every time? Not you that’s for sure! You’re making a program to calculate tips and save some time. Your program needs to take the bill amount as input and output the tip as a float. Sample Input 50 Sample Output 10.0

bill = 1 means you assign the value 1 to the variable bill ( the value of bill is from now on 1) Then you say bill = bill + 25 ( remember till now bill had the value 1 and now bill = 1 + 25 which is 26 and from now on bill has the value 26) Then you say tip = 26 * 20 / 100 But the question was that you take any number as input thats why you have to use the input function.
