Newbie struggling with coding double time hours /u/Visualplaybook_9975 Python Education

Hey all. I started taking the Coursera course Python for Everybody a few days ago, and have zero programming experience. I was working on an assignment where we need to calculate gross pay for OT hours worked, where at 40 hours you make regular pay, and after 40 you make 1.5 x pay (based on user input). I tried messing around to come up with something where in addition, if you work over 60 hours, those hours are then at 2 x times pay. This is what I have so far. Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong? Thanks.

hrs = input(“Enter Hours:”)

hours = float(hrs)

rat = input(“Enter Rate:”)

rate = float(rat)

if hours > 40 :

othours = hours – 40

pay = (40 * rate) + (othours * rate * 1.5)

elif hours > 60:

dbltime = hours – 60

pay = (40 * rate) + (othours * rate * 1.5) + (dbltime * rate * 2)

else :

pay = hours * rate

print(pay)
