While I don't want to discourage you from learning how to do it the long
way, when you have a handle on it I highly recommend using a library for
producing tabular data. tabulate is a very handy one, which supports
lining up decimal points, amongst many other features:

I personally find formatting text to be a pain and will always look for
a better method.
