MY SOLUTION

TICKET_PRICE = 10

tickets_remaining = 100

Output the number of tickets remaining using the tickets remaining variable

print("The number of tickets remaining is {}".format(tickets_remaining))

Gather the user 's name and assign it to a new variable

user_name = input("May you please enter your name: ")

Prompt the user by name and ask them how many tickets they would like

num_of_tickets = int(input("{} How many tickets would you like to order : ".format(user_name.capitalize())))

Calculate the price (number of tickets multiplied by the price) and assign it to a variable total

total_cost = num_of_tickets*TICKET_PRICE

Output the price to the screen

print("{}, the total cost of the tickets you would like to order is ${}".format(user_name,total_cost))

Nice, mines is quite similar but I like using the f string method, rather than the .format method

TICKET_PRICE = 10
ticket_remaining = 100

print(f"There's {ticket_remaining} tickets remaining.")

users_name = input("Please enter your name: ")

num_of_tickets = int(input(f"Hi {users_name}, how many tickets would you like? "))

ticket_price_cal = num_of_tickets * TICKET_PRICE

print(f"That's {num_of_tickets} tickets, total cost is ${ticket_price_cal}")

Oh yea I really like the f string method rather than .format, It easier for me to correlate what info is going where. 

TICKET_PRICE = 10

tickets_remaining = 100  

#Output how many tickets are remaining using the tickets_remaining variable

print("There are {} tickets remaining.".format(tickets_remaining))

#Gather the user's name and assign it to a new variable

user_name = input("What is your name?  ")

#Prompt the user by name and ask how many tickets they would like

quantity_of_tickets = input("{}, How many tickets would you like?  ".format(user_name))
quantity_of_tickets = int(quantity_of_tickets)

#Calculate the price (number of tickets x price) and assign it to a variable

cost = quantity_of_tickets * TICKET_PRICE

#Output the price to the screen

print("The total is ${}".format(cost))

#Output the price using f string

print(f"The total is ${cost}")
