This is not a Python question - It is a Math problem: Try this:
stops = 24 if stops <= 22: stopPay = stops * .4 else: stopPay = 22 * 0.4 + (stops - 22) * 1.4 print stopPay That will give you $11.60 Hope that help, H.

I get paid 40 cents a stop for the first 22 stops, and $1.40 for stops after that. stops = 24 if stops < 22: stopPay = stops * .4 else: stopPay = stops * 1.4 print stopPay >>> 33.6 well thats not how I get paid, I get paid $8.80 for the first 22 stops + $2.80 for the last 2 stops. I know this is a elementary question, but it has got me stuck.
