Q:1

 >>> round(123.45678, 4)
123.4568

Q2:

Something like this works:

stores=[]
for i in xrange(0,5):
      x=raw_input("input number for store=%i ?" % i)
      stores.append(int(x))

for i in xrange(0,5):
      hundreds, remainder=divmod(stores[i], 100)
      print "Store: %i %s" % (i+1, hundreds*"*")
