declaimed the following:
>Any chance you guys could help with another question I have? Below is a code to a different problem. The only thing I don’t understand is why when calculating the 'discounted price’ you have to subtract 1? Thanks again guys!

Because the discount rate you have is the amount taken OFF the price.
But you need the price AFTER removing the discount amount 100% (1.0) - 40%
(0.4) discount => 60% (0.6) final price
>price_per_book = 24.95
>discount = .40
>quantity = 60
>discounted_price = (1-discount) * price_per_book
>shipping = 3.0 + (60 - 1) * .75
>total_price = 60 * discounted_price + shipping
>print total_price, 'Total price'
>
You defined "quantity" but then never used it in the shipping and
total_price lines.
