While I don't want to discourage you from learning how to do it the long 
way, when you have a handle on it I highly recommend using a library for 
producing tabular data. tabulate is a very handy one, which supports 
lining up decimal points, amongst many other features:

I personally find formatting text to be a pain and will always look for 
a better method.
