From the lesson: Python String Formatting: f-strings, format(), and % Operator

Imagine you're building a receipt for a coffee shop. You need to combine a product name, a price, and a quantity into one clean line. You could glue strings together with +, but it gets messy fast.

Read the lesson

Create variables item set to "Cappuccino" and price set to 4.5. Then use an f-string to print a receipt line in this exact format:

Cappuccino .......... $4.50

The item name should be left-aligned and the price should show exactly 2 decimal places. Use the string " .......... $" between the name and price.

# Create the variables and print the formatted receipt line
