Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

And what are you expecting the answer to be?

soft hearth
#

$270000.0

tardy hawk
#

And what is it actually printing?

#

then I would assume your equation to calculate the tax is off

tardy hawk
#

Ya, what are you basing that equation on?

soft hearth
#

1st year highschool class projected

spice basalt
#

ah

tardy hawk
#

The explanation here is a bit confusing, but note:

Use a tax rate of 3% on all income if the income is more than $30,000

spice basalt
#

i got it

tardy hawk
#

Which slightly contradicts:

Use a tax rate of 3% on all income if the income is more than $30,000

#

You're not supposed to do - 30000

spice basalt
#

and you don't add 500 to the total either

tardy hawk
#

Ya, $500 is the "minimum", not a fee added on

#

That wording also contradicts the literal next sentence, but that's a separate issue.

soft hearth
#

what should i look at in my code then

spice basalt
#

your equation for calculating tax when income is greater than 30k

tardy hawk
#

Think of it this way, the expected answer is exactly 3% of 90,000:

#

!e

print(270000/9000000)

So anything else in the equation will just make the answer off

soft hearth
#

ehh okay ill look at the equation
