running_total = 0

num_of_friends = 4

appetizers = 37.89
main_courses = 57.34
desserts = 39.39
drinks = 64.21

running_total+= appetizers + main_courses + desserts + drinks

Your code so far

running_total = 0

num_of_friends = 4

appetizers = 37.89
main_courses = 57.34

The formatting is wrong is the first issue I see. Should be something like this
variable = item1 + item2 + item3 + item 4

Also its says you need to print Total bill so far: Followed by a space and the value of running_total

Here is the code that will pass:
