Answer to Question #262593 in Python for Latterlater

Question

a. Display this to the console:

Bananas: $0.50 each

Strawberries: $.75 each

b. Ask the user what they want to purchase. They will type an 'b' for bananas or an 's' for strawberries.

c. Your program will then ask for the number of bananas or strawberries they wish to purchase (depending on which they selected). The number of bananas cannot exceed 20 and the number of strawberries cannot exceed 10. If the user input exceeds these maximums your program should exit.

d. Your program should then print a report to the console like the following:

Item Qty Price Total

--------------------------

Bananas 4 $0.50 $2.00

Tax(15%): $0.30

Total Cost: $2.30

e. Ask the user for the amount tendered (the amount of money given for the payment). If the amount tendered is over $100 tell the user that there isn't enough change for such an amount and exit.

f. Finally, your program should print another report to the console like the following:

Amount tendered: $10

Change: $7.70
