You have this …

total = meal + meal * tax

… but you need to assign the result to meal, rather than to a new variable. Do this instead …

meal = meal + meal * tax

Then you can print the value of meal instead of total …

print("%.2f" % meal)

… or even this …

print("$%.2f" % meal)

Output of the last statement …

$47.50
