Steps in solving this problem Identify the prize money for each medal type
(constant over each athlete). Obtain the number of gold, silver, and bronze
medals for the athlete (different for each athlete). For each medal type, multiply the medal count
with it’s prize amount. Sum these three values to get total money won Display total amount of money won

Always have a header comment block with a Title, Author, Comment, and Deadline See “Resources” page for Homework Submission
Policy Take care of line wrap
Good rule of thumb is not to have a line exceeding 60-70 characters
Can look at “Col” field at bottom of IDLE to see where you are at

Rules to Follow
Put a comment on top of each chunk of code for the human # Get the input for number of medals from user
