Capstone Challenge

You are building a basic checkout system for a grocery store. The system needs to check if any of the products a customer is buying are on promotion, apply the corresponding discounts, and calculate the final cost including tax.

This challenge will test your understanding of built-in functions, user-defined functions, and working with keyword arguments.

Task

  1. Define the Function: Use the proper keyword to define the check_promotions function.
  2. Trigger another Function: Within the check_promotions function, call the apply_discount function to ensure that any discounts are applied to prices in the products dictionary.
  3. return Discounted Price: Ensure the discounted_price function returns the values for other functions to use.
  4. Built-in Function: Use the proper built-in functions to find the summation of the values in the items dictionary.
  5. Call calculate_final_cost: Pass the products dictionary to the calculate_final_cost function to get the total cost including tax.
