From the lesson: How to Read Python Error Messages and Fix Common Bugs

Read the lessonThis code crashes when trying to convert a price string to an integer. Fix it so it prints:
Price in cents: 999The price is "9.99" dollars, and we want to convert it to cents (multiply by 100 and round to an integer).
price_str = '9.99'
price_cents = int(price_str) * 100
print(f'Price in cents: {price_cents}')
