Your Favorite Meal

This project is designed to complement Unit 1: Python Syntax. It assumes familiarity with only the material covered in that course.

You've just feasted on a truly delicious meal of Spam and eggs. The diner's computer is down, however, so you'll need to compute the cost of your meal yourself.

Here's how it'll break down:

Cost of meal: $44.50

Restaurant tax: 6.75%

Tip: 15%

You'll want to apply the tip to the overall cost of the meal (including tax).

First, let's declare a variable meal and assign it the value 44.50.

Don't use any dollar signs ($)—just the numerical cost of the meal, 44.50.

Remember, we can assign a value to a variable like so:

variable_name = # Your value here!
