Question 6: Input

Mia is baking cookies for a school event. She bought 4 bags of flour for $2 each, 2 cartons of eggs for $3 each, and 5 packs of chocolate chips for $4 each. She also had a $5 discount coupon for her purchase. Write a Python program to calculate the total money Mia spent after using the coupon.

  • Start by asking for Mia’s name and store it in a variable called name.
  • Define variables for the costs:
    • Store the cost per bag of flour in a variable called flour_bag_cost and set it to 2.
    • Store the number of bags of flour in a variable called num_flour_bags and set it to 4.
    • Store the cost per carton of eggs in a variable called egg_carton_cost and set it to 3.
    • Store the number of cartons of eggs in a variable called num_egg_cartons and set it to 2.
    • Store the cost per pack of chocolate chips in a variable called chocolate_chip_pack_cost and set it to 4.
    • Store the number of packs of chocolate chips in a variable called num_chocolate_chip_packs and set it to 5.
    • Store the discount amount in a variable called discount and set it to 5.
  • Calculate the total cost of the flour bags by multiplying flour_bag_cost by num_flour_bags.
  • Calculate the total cost of the egg cartons by multiplying egg_carton_cost by num_egg_cartons.
  • Calculate the total cost of the chocolate chip packs by multiplying chocolate_chip_pack_cost by num_chocolate_chip_packs.
  • Calculate the total amount before applying the discount by adding the total flour cost, total egg cost, and total chocolate chip cost.
  • Subtract the discount amount from the total amount before applying the discount to get the final amount spent.
  • Store the final amount in a variable called total_spent.
  • Print a message that includes Mia’s name and the total amount spent after using the discount in a friendly sentence, like this: “Hi [name]! After using your discount, you spent a total of $[total_spent] on your baking supplies.”
