We have a bunch of prices and sales numbers and we need to find out our total earnings.
Let's start by writing a function named product_sales that takes a single two-member tuple made up of a price and a number of units sold. product_sales should return the product of the price and the number of units.
prices = [
(6.99, 5),
(2.94, 15),
(156.99, 2),
(99.99, 4),
(1.82, 102)
]
def product_sales(price, units):
return price * units

So your declaration might look something like:
def product_sales(one_tuple):
And of course, the body would need to be adapted accordingly.

But a valid solution would use the argument and calculate) the result.

NB why not working too
