#function to calculate monthly cost
def Calculate_Monthly_Cost(LP, Ins, Gas, Oil, Tires, Maintenance):
    total_monthly_cost = LP + Ins + Gas + Oil + Tires + Maintenance
    return total_monthly_cost

#Accept the values from the user

Ins = float(input("Enter the monthly cost of the insurence: "))
Gas = float(input("Enter the monthly gas cost: "))
Oil = float(input("Enter the monthly Oil cost: "))
