Store a Value
FreeCreate a variable called <code>company</code> holding the text <code>Acme Pte Ltd</code>, and a variable called <code>employees</code> holding the number <code>42</code>.
Show the solution
company = "Acme Pte Ltd" on one line, employees = 42 on the next.
Good — text needs quotes, numbers don't. Mixing those up is one of the most common Python bugs.
3
Add GST
FreeA price before tax is stored in <code>price</code>. Create <code>total</code>: the price plus 9% GST.
Show the solution
Multiply by 1.09: total = price * 1.09
Exactly — price * 1.09 works for any price, which is the whole point of a formula.
4
Format a Message
Using <code>name</code> and <code>amount</code>, print <code>Invoice for Mei: $120</code> — built from the variables, not typed out.
