The following Python program calculates the final price of an item including a fixed local safety surcharge:
item_cost = float(input("Enter the cost of the item: "))
safety_surcharge = 15.00
final_total = item_cost + safety_surcharge
print("The total price is:", final_total)
Identify one variable in this program that would be more appropriate to define as a constant.
