Question

The program below asks the user to enter a number of apples, oranges, and limes to purchase. Each apple costs 2.00, each orange costs 3.00, and each lime costs 1.00. The program calls a cost() function that should calculate and return the total price of the fruit the user wants to purchase.

The following examples demonstrate the expected program output.

How many apples, oranges, and limes do you want to buy (x y z)? 1 2 3
1 apples, 2 oranges, and 3 limes cost $11.00
How many apples, oranges, and limes do you want to buy (x y z)? 2 0 3
2 apples, 0 oranges, and 3 limes cost $7.00
Where shown by the comments at the top of the source file, create a cost() function that takes three parameters for the number of apples, oranges, and limes.
Inside the function, calculate the total cost of the requested fruit. Declare any other internal variables you need.
Inside the function, return the total cost you calculated.

# main program logic (no changes below this line)
quantities = input("How many apples, oranges, and limes do you want to buy (x y z)? ").split(" ")
numApples = int(quantities[0])
numOranges = int(quantities[1])
numLimes = int(quantities[2])
total = cost(numApples, numOranges, numLimes)
print(numApples,"apples,",numOranges,"oranges, and",numLimes,"limes cost",str.format("${:.2f}",total))

Answer 1

def cost(numApples, numOranges, numLimes):
totalCost = (numApples * 2.00) + (numOranges * 3.00) + (numLimes * 1.00)
return totalCost

quantities = input("How many apples, oranges, and limes do you want to buy (x y z)? ").split(" ")
numApples = int(quantities[0])
numOranges = int(quantities[1])
numLimes = int(quantities[2])
total = cost(numApples, numOranges, numLimes)
print(numApples,"apples,",numOranges,"oranges, and",numLimes,"limes cost",str.format("${:.2f}",total))
