The original problem says:
Suppose the cover price of a book is $24.95, but bookstores get a 40%
discount. Shipping costs $3 for the first copy and 75 cents for each
additional copy. What is the total
price_per_book = 24.95
discount = .40
quantity = 60
Here:
discounted_price = (1-discount) * price_per_book
The discounted price should be price_per_book - discount
shipping = 3.0 + (60 - 1) * .75
shipping should be, I think, should be 3.0 + (quantity * .75)
total_price = 60 * discounted_price
Yeah you’re right I didn’t even notice that. For some reason I just added the
60 instead of using quantity which had been defined.

If you’re interested in what the problem is here it is…

Shipping costs $3 for the first copy and 75 cents for each additional copy.

Once you can divide the number of seconds into hours, minutes, and
seconds, you can format them like this:
