Hello Rafael,
I believe you are a beginner...
That is another way to do this...-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
suitcase = ["book, ", "towel, ", "shirt, ", "pants"]
st = ''

for i in suitcase:
    
    st = st + i
    
print ("You have a %s in your luggage.") %st

I want to print individual items from a list like this:

You have a book, towel, shirt, pants in your luggage.

This is my code:

suitcase = ["book", "towel", "shirt", "pants"]
print ("You have a %s in your luggage." % suitcase)

Instead of printing out the items on the list, my code appends the
list to the string. How do I need to modify my code?

== RESTART: C:/Users/Rafael/Documents/01 - BIZ/Python/Python Code/PPC_7.py ==
You have a ['book', 'towel', 'shirt', 'pants'] in your luggage.

Have a look at the str.join() method:

>>> suitcase = ["book", "towel", "shirt", "pants"]
>>> print("You have a %s in your luggage." % ", ".join(suitcase))
You have a book, towel, shirt, pants in your luggage.

See <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/stdtypes.html#str.join>
