Step5 Built a Bill splitter

I really dont understand what i am doing wrong . I can see that it is printed correctly in the terminal but i get the below message and i cannot move on “You should print the string Tip amount: followed by a space and the tip variable.”

Here is what I have written, can you spot the error? thank you!

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

print(‘Total bill so far:’, running_total)

tip=running_total*0.25

print('Tip amount: ',tip)

Welcome to the forum @MatK !

Your print() should be formatted the same way you did it before. Careful with spacing.
