Just add some spaces manually:
print("The cost of the carpet is $", format(subtotal,'9,.2f'))
print("The flat fee is $", format(fee,'9,.2f'))
This is usually written as
print("The cost of the carpet is $ {:9,.2f}".format(subtotal))
print("The flat fee is $ {:9,.2f}".format(fee))
If this is not what you want you need to give more details; for instance:
the above won't look "uniform" when it is displayed in a proportional font.
