What statement should you use to print the value of total with a precision of 5 digits?
a) print("the total is %0.5f" % total)
b) print("the total is %f" % float(total, 5))
c) print("the total is %0.5d" % total)
d) print("the total is %5." % total)

Option A: print("The total is %0.5f" % total)

Explanation:

To ensure the value is rounded to a precision of 5 digits, we have to create a formatted string which is %0.5f. The .5 denotes five decimal places and f refers to float data type.

Next, we use the % operator again and followed with the variable total. The % is used as a string modulo operator that will interpolate the value held by the the variable total in the formatted string that we create previously. The interpolated value will be rounded to 5 decimal places. For example, if

total = 256.786789

The output will be 256.78679
