Three notebooks cost 249.5 rupees each. Show the total with exactly two decimal places, in the form…

Plan. Multiply, then show the total in an f-string with .2f.

1. total = 249.5 * 3 is $748.5$.
2. {total:.2f} shows two places after the decimal point, so $748.5$ becomes 748.50.
3. print(f"Total: {total:.2f}")

Answer: Total: 748.50.
