[Tutor] Strange issue output not showing up as floats

[Deb Wyatt]

Hello.  I hope everyone is having a good day.  I am working on an assignment that is supposed to output floats.  I'm using floats in the computations and according to Python's rules the output should be floats, but it's not.  When I test in Python shell the calculations display correctly, as floats.

I'm using Python 2.7 for this assignment.

input is as follows  (not in code order):
balance = 4213
annualInterestRate = 0.2
monthlyPaymentRate = 0.04
payment = monthlyPaymentRate * balance
balance = balance - payment
total_paid = payment

output looks like this:

Month: 1
Minimum monthly payment: 168
Remaining balance: 4111
Month: 2
Minimum monthly payment: 164
Remaining balance: 4013
Month: 3
Minimum monthly payment: 160
Remaining balance: 3916
...etc...

Would any of you have a clue what could be wrong?
