How do I remove the whitespace in python

I'm trying to submit this into myprogramminglab, everything else is correct but it wants me to remove this whitespace that doesn't seem to exist.

num_males = int(input('Enter number of males:'))
num_females = int(input('Enter number of females:'))
total_students = num_males + num_females

percent_male = num_males * 100 / total_students
percent_female = num_females * 100 / total_students

print('Percent males: {:.0f}%' .format(percent_male)**X**,
       '\nPercent females: {:.0f}%' .format(percent_female))

I labeled where the spacing is with an X

Am I just not seeing something?

here are the results I keep getting

When you pass multiple arguments to print, spaces are inserted between each value by default. If you want to suppress the space separators, set the sep keyword argument to an empty string:

print(
    'Percent males: {:.0f}%' .format(percent_male),
    '\nPercent females: {:.0f}%' .format(percent_female),
    sep='',
)

Alternatively, you could pass a single string to print to avoid the separator behavior entirely:

print("Percent males: {:.0f}%\nPercent females: {:.0f}%".format(
    percent_male,
    percent_female,
))
