Others have answered, but don't forget to try things like this yourself in
the interactive python shell of your choice:

Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> bill = 1
>>> bill *=1.08
>>> bill
1.08
>>>
