Question
100%

Driving is expensive. Write a program with a car's miles/gallon and gas dollars/gallon (both floats) as input, and output the gas cost for 10 miles, 50 miles, and 400 miles.

Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:
print('{:.2f}'.format(your_value))

Ex: If the input is:

20.0 3.1599

the output is:

1.58 7.90 63.20

Your program must define and call the following driving_cost() function. Given input parameters driven_miles, miles_per_gallon, and dollars_per_gallon, the function returns the dollar cost to drive those miles.

Ex: If the function is called with:

50 20.0 3.1599

the function returns:

7.89975

def driving_cost(driven_miles, miles_per_gallon, dollars_per_gallon)

Your program should call the function three times to determine the gas cost for 10 miles, 50 miles, and 400 miles.

Note: This is a lab from a previous chapter that now requires the use of a function.

 

def driving_cost(driven_miles, miles_per_gallon, dollars_per_gallon):
    dollars_per_mile = miles_per_gallon / dollars_per_gallon


    driving_cost = driven_miles[0] * dollars_per_mile
    return driving_cost

    driving_cost = driven_miles[1] * dollars_per_mile
    return driving_cost

    driving_cost = driven_miles[2] * dollars_per_mile
    return driving_cost

if __name__ == '__main__':
    driven_miles = 10.0, 50.0, 400.0
    miles_per_gallon = float(input())
    dollars_per_gallon = float(input())
    cost = driving_cost(driven_miles, miles_per_gallon, dollars_per_gallon)
    print('{:.2f}'.format(cost))
