5,619 PointsThe total due is given multiples of the same number. For ten tickets I received $10101010101010101010.
TICKET_PRICE = 10
tickets_remaining = 100
Output how many tickets are remained use the tickers_remaining variable
print("There are {} tickets remaining.".format(tickets_remaining))
Gather the user's name and assign it to a new variable
name = input("What is your name? ")
Prompt the user by name and ask how many tickets they would like
num_tickets = input("How many tickets would you like, {}? ".format(name)) num_ticket = int(num_tickets)
calculate the price (number of tickets multiplied by the price) and assign it to a variable
amount_due = num_tickets * TICKET_PRICE
Output the price to the screen
print("The total due is ${}".format(amount_due))
What did I do wrong or what should I think of adding? I followed the instructor

num_ticket = int(num_tickets)
this line converts the string response into a number
amount_due = num_tickets * TICKET_PRICE
but this line replicates the original string 10 times
Also, for future postings, be sure to use Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance.
