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
name = input("Hello, What is your name? ")
Prompt the user by name and ask how many tickets they woudld like
ticket1 = input("Hello {}, How many tickets would you like? ".format(name))
Calculate the price (number of tickets multiplied by the price)
price = (TICKET_PRICE * ticket1)
Output the price to the screen
print("$",price)
When I inputted 4 into how many tickets I would like. The price printed out was $4444444444 instead of $40. I do not why this occurred?

ticket1 = int(input("Hello {}, How many tickets would you like? ".format(name)))
