Input


You decide to write a python script that asks the user three questions:

  • How many cupcakes do you plan to sell?
  • How many macarons do you plan to sell?
  • How many cheesecake do you plan to sell?

Process


The python script will then calculate the total money raised using the three user inputs and the prices as follows:

  • Cupcakes: 40p per cupcake,
  • macarons: 50p per macaron,
  • cheesecake: 70p per slice.

Output


The script will finally display this information (total money raised) to the end-user.

Extension Task


It did cost £12 pounds to buy all the ingredients to bake all the cakes.

Adapt your program to calculate and display the profit knowing that:


profit = money raised – expenses

Then use an If statement to check whether you have made a profit (profit > 0) or a loss (profit < 0) or whether you did break even (profit == 0).
