Expert Answer
Program:
#prompt and read sub total and gratuity rate as strings
subTotal,gratuityRate = input(“Enter the subtotal and gratuity rate: “).split(” “)
#convert the sub total into float
subTotal = float(subTotal)
#convert the gratuity rate into float
gratuityRate = float(gratuityRate)
#compute the gratuity
gratuity = subTotal * (gratuityRate / 100)
#compute the total
total = subTotal + gratuity
#display the output
print (“The gratuity is {:0.2f} and the total is {:0.2f}”.format(gratuity, total))
Output:
