Ballpark Order Python

Hello, My code is accepted for the 2 first scenario but not the 3 others, which of course I cannot check. If someone can help me out to find out what is wrong. total = 0 tax = 1.07 list1 = {"Nachos": 6, "Pizza" : 6, "Cheeseburger" : 10, "Water" : 4, "Coke" : 5} order = input().split(" ") for i in order: total += list1.get(i, 5) print(total * tax)

Can you send the description of the code challenge here? It could be related to the problem's instructions. Also, did you try rounding it to 2 decimals (if stated in instruction)?

You and three friends go to a baseball game and you offer to go to the concession stand for everyone. They each order one thing, and you do as well. Nachos and Pizza both cost $6.00. A Cheeseburger meal costs $10. Water is $4.00 and Coke is $5.00. Tax is 7%. Task Determine the total cost of ordering four items from the concession stand. If one of your friend’s orders something that isn't on the menu, you will order a Coke for them instead. Input Format You are given a string of the four items that you've been asked to order that are separated by spaces. Output Format You will output a number of the total cost of the food and drinks. Sample Input 'Pizza Cheeseburger Water Popcorn' Sample Output 26.75

Aurélien Robert I provided an another hint that could solve the problem but you have already solved it, and that's good to know. Congrats and you're welcome.

Aurélien Robert Looks like there is nothing wrong with your code, but the problem could be on the calculation of final price including tax. TRY: Instead of multiplying the 1.07 (price and tax) to the total price, calculate first the tax (0.07) before adding it to total price. 🔸 tax = 1.07 🔸 print(total * tax) 🔹 tax = 0.07 🔹 print(total + (total * tax))
