Question 3: Project

Emily is running an art supplies store and wants to create a program to help customers calculate the total cost of their purchases. However, she wants to implement some tricky pricing rules. Write a Python program to assist Emily with her calculations.

Here are the pricing rules for Emily’s art supplies store:

• Basic Art Kit: Customers can purchase a basic art kit for $25. This includes essential supplies such as pencils, erasers, and a sketchpad.
• Custom Items: Customers can choose custom items from the following options:
  • Paints: Each paint tube costs $5.
  • Brushes: Each brush costs $3.
  • Canvases: Each canvas costs $7.
• Special Offer: If customers spend more than $50 (excluding the basic art kit), they receive a 10% discount on their entire purchase.

Write a Python program that prompts customers to select the number of custom items they want to purchase (paints, brushes, and canvases), calculates the total cost, and applies any applicable discounts.
