Why do I get error can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float' PYTHON
<p>I wrote a simple program to calculate tax for some electrical parts, it goes like this:</p>

<pre><code>print "How much does it cost?",    
price = raw_input()    
print "Tax: %s" % (price * 0.25)    
print "Price including tax: %s" % (price * 1.25)    
raw_input ("Press ENTER to exit")
</code></pre>

<p>And I keep getting this error:</p>

<pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "moms.py", line 3, in &lt;module&gt;
    print "Tax: %s" % (price * 0.25)
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'
</code></pre>
