Write a program that calculates the total amount of a meal purchased at a restaurant. The

program should ask the user to enter the charge for the food, and then calculate the amount

of a 15 percent tip and 7 percent sales tax. Display each of these amounts and the total.

I have this down but need help with running it... Once I run it, its asking me for the amount and I don't know what to put or how to do it? any help?

#Get the total amount of meal purchase

totalMealPurchased = float(input(Enter the charge for the food : ))

#calculate the tip(15%)

tip = totalMealPurchased * .15

#calculate the sales tax(7%)

saleTax = totalMealPurchased * .07

#calculate the total sales

totalPurchased =( totalMealPurchased + tip + saleTax )

#display the total amount of meal purchase

print(Amount of the meal purchase :,format(totalMealPurchased , ,.2f))

#display the tip

print(Amount of the tip :,format(tip , ,.2f))

#display the sales tax

print(Amount of the sales tax :,format(saleTax , ,.2f))

#display the total purchased

print(total purchased :,format(totalPurchased , ,.2f))
