The XYZ Book Company needs a way to determine the cost that a student will pay for renting a Book.

The Cost is dependent on the time of the Book is returned.

However, there are also special rates on Saturday and Sundays.

The Fee Structure is shown in the following list:

The cost is $3.00 per night.
If the book is returned after 9 PM, the student will be charged an extra day.
If the Book is rented on a Sunday, the student will get 50% off for as long as they keep the book.
If the Book is rented on a Saturday, the student will get 30% off for as long as they keep the book.

Below is the code to meet these requirements.

# XYZ Book Rented Amount Calculator
ontime=input('Was Book returned before 9 pm? y or n:').lower()
days_rented=int(input('How many days was book rented?'))
day_rented=input('What day the Book rented?').capitalize()
 
cost_per_day=3.00
if ontime == 'n':
    days_rented=days_rented+1
if day_rented=='Sunday':
    total=(days_rented*cost_per_day)*0.5
elif day_rented=='Saturday':
    total=(days_rented*cost_per_day)*0.7
else:
    total=(days_rented*cost_per_day)
print('The Cost of Book Rental is:$',total)

If the Book rented on 'Sunday', the number of days Book rented is 5 and Book returned after 9 PM then what is the result?
