Exercise 2 "Price Calculator" Your boss at Amalgamated Sales Inc. is wary of complex topics such as division. He asks you to create a program that will calculate the average price of an item given the cost for a number of them. Write a program named average.py that inputs (from the keyboard) the name of an item, the number of items purchased, and the total price paid per item (in that order). The program should then calculate the average price per item and store it in a variable. Then it should output the average price. Your output and input should look like this, for example: >>> %Run average.py Enter the item name: banana Enter the number purchased: 100 Enter the total price: 153 The average price of a(n) banana is 1.53 dollars The prompts and output should match this example exactly, substituting the appropriate values. Note that you must calculate the average price yourself and format it to two decimal places. The name should be a string, the number purchased should be an integer, and the total price should be an integer number of dollars.
