You’ll need to cast your input to an int, for example: print(int(input())*10)

I'm having the same issue. I noticed it's solved by separating out the coercion step from the input step, which is odd because I thought they could be combined on one line.

Example 1 gives me the input 10 times when calculated: tickets_requested = int(input("How many tickets would you like, {}? ".format(name)))

Example 2 gives me the input multiplied by 10 (the ticket price) when calculated: tickets_requested = input("How many tickets would you like, {}? ".format(name)) tickets_requested = int(tickets_requested)
