You need to assign a value to tip before trying
to read it, otherwise tip is undefined.

Similarly you should define price before trying
to use it.

But those would give you a NameError not a
syntax error... Can you send us the full error
text please (always do this when posting, it
helps a lot)

You access price and tip before defining them.

And shouldn't that * be a +?

This line does nothing

You need these 2 lines before the calculations above.
