Getting discounted price for amount of items from user input

I just completed my pre-course assessment.

The project was:

A cupcake costs 6.50. If you purchase more than 6 cupcakes, each of them will cost 5.50 instead, and if you purchase more than 12, each of them will cost 5.00 instead.

Write a program that asks the user how many cupcakes they want to purchase, and display the total amount they have to pay.

My inputs have been:

amt=input("How many cupcakes would you like to but? ")
if amt>=6:
  disc = amt*0.12
elif amt>=12:
  disc=amt*0.24
print(disc)

I can't seem to get the code running. Can anyone please dump it down for me?

Python takes input in string format, you need to cast the input into int but in your code, you're comparing a string with int in the conditionals.

amt=int(input("How many cupcakes would you like to but? "))
  if amt>=6:
    disc = amt*0.12
  elif amt>=12:
    disc=amt*0.24
print(disc)

THE COMPLETE SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM IS:

amt=int(input("How many cupcakes would you like to but? "))

if amt <= 6:
    pancake_price_650 = 6.50
    price_inferior_6 = amt * pancake_price_650
    print(price_inferior_6)
    
elif amt > 6:   
    pancake_price_550 = 5.50
    price_superior_6 = amt * pancake_price_550
    print(price_superior_6)
    
elif amt > 12:
    pancake_price_500 = 5.00
    price_superior_12 = amt * pancake_price_500
    print(price_superior_12)

You were wrong in constructing the logic of conditions.

Also, you haven't converted the input to a string. Input is always read as a string, in your code you haven't read it as an integer. Convert string input to int using int(), because int() transforms a string into an integer. You need to add int before input, but put it in parentheses.
