Flowchart to Python Code – Discount Price Calculator

discountShopping during the sales can sometimes be very confusing. With discounted prices at 10%, 20%, 50% or even 70%!

For this challenge you are going to write a Python script that prompts the user to enter a price in pounds (or in your own currency) (e.g. £90) and a discount rate to apply (e.g. 20%).

Your program will then calculate and display the discounted price.

We will use the following algorithm for our program:
