Alyx Vance:
It was solved with "d = int(a)*int(b)" Thanks for the help though

Foxscotch:
addendum: you can multiply a string by an integer, it just adds the string to itself
so 'hi'*4 == 'hihihihi'

Alyx Vance:
Well forget me again, ran into another problem that makes even less sense.

--- Code: ---a = input("Enter tax rate: ")
b = input("Enter amount paid ")
c = input("Enter how many times paid ")
d = int(a)*int(b)\100
print(d + e)
--- End code ---
'unexpected character after line continuation character' it goes away if I remove the \100

Foxscotch:
"line continuation character" == \
that is a backslash, bub
regular slash, /, is for division. backslash is for escaping

also don't stick everything so close together
int(a) * int(b) / 100 is 10x more readable than the alternative with no spaces

ALSO don't give your variables vague names like that. + some other small changes
revised entire thing:

tax_rate = int(input("Enter tax rate: "))
pay_rate = int(input("Enter amount paid "))
times_paid = int(input("Enter how many times paid "))
total_income = tax_rate * pay_rate / 100
print(total_income + e)

although honestly the whole thing doesn't make much sense. why are you dividing by 100? what is e?

Alyx Vance:
The e was a typo, and thanks for clearing that up.
