# ask the user for an item
item = input("What would you like to purchase? ")

# how many do they want to purchase?  note that we need to convert their
# response from a string into an integer
quantity = int(input("How many would you like to buy? "))

# how much does each item cost?  again we need to convert from a string into floating point value
unit_price = float(input("How much does each item cost? "))

# compute total
total = quantity * unit_price

# output
print (quantity, item, "will cost you", total)
