# read the purchase total as the float value
total_purchase = float(input('Enter the total of your purchase: '))

# print the total without VAT
print('Your total purchase without VAT is:', total_purchase)

# calculate VAT for the total purchase
VAT = (5 * total_purchase) / 100
# add VAT
total_purchase_with_VAT = total_purchase + VAT

# print the  total with VAT
print('Your total purchase with VAT is:', total_purchase_with_VAT)

IF WE WANT MORE THAN ONE PURCHASE

# read number of items user want's to enter
n = int(input('Enter number of items you want to enter: '))

# take total = 0
total_purchase =0
# loop from 0 to n
for i in range(n):
    # read the purchase total as the float value
    purchase = float(input('Enter the item of your purchase: '))
    # add that purchase
    total_purchase += purchase

# print the total without VAT
print('Your total purchase without VAT is:', total_purchase)

# calculate VAT for the total purchase
VAT = (5 * total_purchase) / 100
# add VAT
total_purchase_with_VAT = total_purchase + VAT

# print the  total with VAT
print('Your total purchase with VAT is:', total_purchase_with_VAT)
