It sounds like you want a primer on floating point. The documentation
of the decimal module is actually a good read, although I don't doubt
there are even better resources somewhere:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html

Note that you probably also want to use the decimal module, seeing as
it's good at storing decimals.

Finally, look at "moneyfmt" in the decimal docs:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html#recipes
