Question

print(f'Chips ({ chips_qty} x ${chips_price:2f}):$(chips_price*chips_qty:.2f}") is this right

Answer 1

Not quite — there are a few syntax/formatting errors. Fixed, it should look like this:

Correct version
print(f"Chips ({chips_qty} x ${chips_price:.2f}): ${chips_price * chips_qty:.2f}")

Notes
- Format specifiers go inside the braces after a colon, e.g. {chips_price:.2f} (not :2f).
- Put the $ as a literal in the string, e.g. "${...}" or "$" immediately before the brace.
- The multiplication expression must be inside braces: {chips_price * chips_qty:.2f}.

Example
chips_qty = 3
chips_price = 1.99
print(f"Chips ({chips_qty} x ${chips_price:.2f}): ${chips_price * chips_qty:.2f}")
# Output: Chips (3 x $1.99): $5.97

(Requires Python 3.6+ for f-strings.)
