raw_input
returns a string (a sequence of characters). In Python, multiplying a string and a float makes no defined meaning (while multiplying a string and an integer has a meaning: "AB" * 3
is "ABABAB"
; how much is "L" * 3.14
? Please do not reply "LLL|"
). You need to parse the string to a numerical value.
You might want to try:
salesAmount = float(raw_input("Insert sale amount here\n"))
