[Tutor] How to correct decimal addition.

[Leon S]

Here is what I'm trying to do, accept a price of gas, but I want to add the
.009 to the price, so that people do not have to type the full amount.
 Example, 3.49 /gallon would return 3.499 /gallon.

This is what I have tried and the results of it.

def gas_price(price):
   price == raw_input("What is the price of gas?")  return price + .09
  3.49=> 3.4899999999999998


It reduces the number and then adds many decimal points after.


Thanks for any help, I am sure this is an easy one for someone.
