Calling a function to return a list of percentages

[Liquid_Ocelot]

Ok I managed to get it to print out the in the correct format but I am having trouble with printing the actual equation

So if the percentage is the user_input number * each number in taxlist / 100

I just need it to print out like this

5% tax on a Chocolate cake costing $17.50 is $0.88
10% tax on a Chocolate cake costing $17.50 is $1.75
15% tax on a Chocolate cake costing $17.50 is $2.62
20% tax on a Chocolate cake costing $17.50 is $3.50
25% tax on a Chocolate cake costing $17.50 is $4.38

And my code is now looking like this so I am just confused how to put that equation in there to get it to print out the tax result at the end for each number in the list

item = str(input("Please enter an item"))
price = float(input("Price of the item $"))
taxlist = [5,10,15,20,25]
def result (price, tax2):
    total = price * taxlist[0,1,2,3,4,4] / 100
    return total
for tax in range(5, 26, 5):
            print("",tax,"% tax on a ",item," costing ",price," is",result,"")

my output gives me a strange result too so It may just be something simple I am missing I am not sure lol

Please enter an itemCake
Price of the item $17.50
 5 % tax on a  Cake  costing  17.5  is <function result at 0x000001B4EB9201E0> 
 10 % tax on a  Cake  costing  17.5  is <function result at 0x000001B4EB9201E0> 
 15 % tax on a  Cake  costing  17.5  is <function result at 0x000001B4EB9201E0> 
 20 % tax on a  Cake  costing  17.5  is <function result at 0x000001B4EB9201E0> 
 25 % tax on a  Cake  costing  17.5  is <function result at 0x000001B4EB9201E0> 

Process finished with exit code 0

Also can someone explain why my output of the price of the item drops off the zero at the end, It should be 17.50 not 17.5
Thanks
