The Ins and Outs of Bellybutton Lint, by Joel Guthrie Some scientists gaze into outer space to look for answers. Some scientists seek answers in the depths of the sea. When Georg Steinhauser wanted answers, he looked within himself. Well, he looked within his bellybutton to be exact. The Austrian chemist spent three years researching the contents of his navel and the navels of others. He has solved one of life’s greatest mysteries. We now know exactly what bellybutton lint contains! Steinhauser presented his findings in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. The Vienna University scientist analyzed over 500 samples to determine the exact makeup of the lint. As suspected, most of the lint was made up of cotton from clothing. The fabric pieces are not alone, though. Steinhauser found that the average bellybutton also contained pieces of dead skin, sweat, dust, and fat. Steinhauser’s notes also explained how lint accumulates. Stomach hairs tend to grow in a circular pattern around the bellybutton. The hairs act like small hooks, capturing and holding contents within. Shaving stomach hair can lead to a lint-free bellybutton, but don’t act too hastily. Although the contents of your navel may be a nuisance, research suggests that lint has a purpose. It is nature’s way of protecting your bellybutton from germs and unwanted objects.

Quick Checkout

A local department store hires you to write an automated checkout program designed specifically for their express checkout lane. The express lane is limited to five items for any one purchase. Write a simple program using Python that prompts the user for the prices of five individual items and then calculates and displays the subtotal, sales tax, and total. The sales tax is 6 percent.

For this project:

• You will submit your python code in either the original .py file, or copied into a .txt file.
• A screenshot of your code having been executed (run). How to Take a Screenshot

Tips: Since the program asks you for three calculated values, it would be a good idea to have a place to store those three values once they have been calculated.

Avoid using Microsoft Word to write your program code. Word uses symbols other than the standard quote marks, which are often misinterpreted by programming compilers/interpreters.

Example output:

C:>python week1.py

Welcome to the Express Lane!

Enter the first price: 5.00

Enter the second price: 6.15

Enter the third price: 7.95

Enter the fourth price: 42.99

Enter the final price: 12.70

subtotal: 74.79

sales tax: 4.49

———————–

total: 74.85

Using the information from a previous post,this is what I’ve came up with. Please help

print(“Welcome to the Express Lane!”)

price1 = input(“12.50: “)

price2 = input(“114.00: “)

price3 = input(“8.99: “)

price4 = input(“16.00: “)

price5 = input(“3.99: “)

subtotal = float(price1) + float(price2) + float(price3) + float(price4) + float(price5)

print(“subtotal: ” + str (round(subtotal,2)))

tax = subtotal * 0.06

print(“tax: ” + str(round(tax,2)))

Total = float(subtotal) + float(tax)

print(“Total: ” + str (round(Total,2)))
