Ciao everyone. :slight_smile:
I’m doing the last extra practice, the exercise asks me to * Calculate the average insurance cost in insurance_costs . You will have to remove the $ in order to calculate this."

I tried with this and in order to find the total and removing I used replace, but I get stuck here.

cost =
for n in insurance_costs:
cost.append(n.replace(’$’,’’))
total_cost = 0
for element in cost:
print(element)
for v in element:
total_cost += v
print(total_cost)

any helps or hints are appreciated
thanks everyone!

Hello! Could you please format your code in the proper way so we can see what it really looks like?

Also, what is the specific problem you’re having? What did you expect the result to be, and what result do you actually get?

I sorted out after many attempts, thanks you for the support!
