title: How do I read from a dictionary, and whatever the input from the dictionary is put in it gets multipled by a variable called total?
body: <p>It's my first day of python, I've been hitched on this for a while.</p>
  
  <p>I have a dictionary which contains three values, "Luxury" "Standard" and "Economy". These have a key of a price per square meters, and I was wondering how I can make it so that when the user picks one of the selected values, it will then multiply the the total (gathered from other code) with that key. I need to keep the .capitalize part for user validation.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks guys!</p>
  
  <p>I'm half way there, somebody suggested me some code to try and add but I wasn't entirely sure how to implement it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>paints = {
  "Luxury" : 1.75,
  "Standard": 1.00,
  "Economy": 0.80,
  }
  while True:
      paintType = input("What type of paint would you like to  use? \n Luxury \n Standard \n Economy" "\n ")
      paintType.capitalize()
      if user_input.capitalize() in paints
          break
  </code></pre>
