To complete this task, we will follow the IPO (Input-Process-Output) pattern.
We take the number of trips as integers, multiply them by the fixed float rates for
each employee, and then sum the results.
The key to matching the required format is using a formatted string to ensure the
output always shows exactly two decimal places.
Python
# Input: Collect the number of trips for each employee as integers
times_traveledA = int(input())
times_traveledB = int(input())
times_traveledC = int(input())
# Process: Define mileage constants and calculate distances
employeeA_rate = 15.62
employeeB_rate = 41.85
employeeC_rate = 32.67
total_distance = (times_traveledA * employeeA_rate) + \
(times_traveledB * employeeB_rate) + \
(times_traveledC * employeeC_rate)
# Output: Display the result with exactly two decimal places
print('Distance: {:.2f} miles'.format(total_distance))
Explanation of the Format
, int(input()): Standard practice to ensure the trip counts are treated as
numbers rather than text.
{:.2f}: This is the "format specifier." The 2 tells Python to round to two
decimal places, and the f tells it to treat the number as a fixed-point float.
Whitespace: The output string 'Distance: {:.2f} miles' ensures there is a
single space after the colon and a single space before "miles," matching
standard technical formatting.
Instructions:
Create a Python solution to the following task. Ensure that the solution produces
output in exactly the same format shown in the sample(s) below, including
capitalization and whitespace.
Task:
Create a solution that accepts three integer inputs representing the number of times
an employee travels to a job site. Output the total distance traveled to two decimal
places given the following miles per employee commute to the job site. Output the
total distance traveled to two decimal places given the following miles per
employee commute to the job site:
- Employee A: 15.62 miles
- Employee B: 41.85 miles
- Employee C: 32.67 miles
The solution output should be in the format
Distance: total_miles_traveled miles -ANSWER ✔✔d1 = 15.62 * int(input())
d2 = 41.85 * int(input())
, d3 = 32.67 * int(input())
print(f'Distance: {sum([d1, d2, d3]):.2f} miles')
Instructions:
Create a Python solution to the following task. Ensure that the solution produces
output in exactly the same format shown in the sample(s) below, including
capitalization and whitespace.
Task:
Create a solution that accepts an integer input representing any number of ounces.
Output the converted total number of tons, pounds, and remaining ounces based on
the input ounces value. There are 16 ounces in a pound and 2,000 pounds in a ton.
The solution output should be in the format
Tons: value_1
Pounds: value_2
Ounces: value_3 -ANSWER ✔✔o = int(input())
p = o // 16
t = p // 2000
o = o % 16
p = p % 2000
print(f'Tons: {t}')
print(f'Pounds: {p}')
print(f'Ounces: {o}')
