I have written this out, it is my first program in python out of the second chapter. We are using simple concepts so far and have not gotten into functions. It runs fine until input is entered for the price and then the output screen closes out. I would appreciate any tips!

#Sales Tax Calculator #Prompt user for name name = input("Please enter your first name: ") #Display welcome message using name print("Welcome, "+ name +"!")

#Prompt price of item / convert to float userImput = input("Please enter price of item: ") price = float(userImput) tax = 9/100 #Computes sales tax to be charged (9%) itemTax = tax * price #Computes total cost totalCost = itemTax + price

#Display sales tax and total print("Sales tax (9%): " + '%.2f' + itemTax) print("Total Cost: " + totalCost)

#Thank user for using program print("Thanks for using Sales Tax Calculator!") print("Have a great day, " + name)
