Multiplication and division in Python

When I multiply 63 by (10/100), I get 6.300000000000001 but I want the output to be 6.30. How do I do that? I'm working on a code and I want my output to be in one or two decimal places but I don't know how to do that. If I multiply the same fraction by 70, I'll get 7.0. Can someone help me?

write, ( 63 * 10 ) / 100, it will just give 6.3 Alternatively, 👇👇 use str.format( ) do this way 👇👇👇👇 https://code.sololearn.com/cjrIf2qHWUla/?ref=app

this will round up the resulting float number up to two digits after point. print(round(63*(10/100),2)) to make it easy to read: x = 63*(10/100) z = round(x,2) print(z)

i think this works: print(f"{63/(10/100):.2f}")
