How to make a program to calculate tax

[depasqualen]

I'm trying to make a python program that

1) prompts the user to enter the value of the sale with the following statement:
“Enter the value of the company’s sales in dollars in August 2013:”

2)The sale value should be stored in a variable of type float

3)Compute the sales tax based on 6% of the sale

4) Print the resulting sales tax in the following format:
“The sales tax is $ for August 2013 ”

This is the code I currently have

salevalue = int(input("Enter the value of the company's sales in dollars in August 2013"))
 
saletax = float(salevalue*0.06)
 
print("The sales tax is" + saletax + "for August 2013")

I am very new to programming in python so I really have no idea where to go from here. Thanks for reading :)

To print the result, you can use the format method.

>>> saletax = float(256753*0.06)
>>> print("The sales tax is ${s:.2f} for August 2013".format(s=saletax))
The sales tax is $15405.18 for August 2013
