Loops maybe

[jefsummers]

print (" How many items do you have?")
numberofitems = input()
total = 0 
for item in range(numberofitems):
    x = float(input('Enter the price £: '))
    total = total + x
#now print out the total in a nice format

This creates a loop that asks for the price of each object, you will then need to add the code for formatting the sum (total)
