Cant print answer.
print(float((squares) * float(.15)) *(1.3))
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'
You have some superfluous brackets around 'squares' and '1.3', which
hinder readability.
Remove them and you get -
float(squares * float(.15)) * 1.3
Now you can see that you have the brackets in the wrong place - you are
trying to multiply 'squares', which at this stage is still a string, by
float(.15).
You can multiply a string by an integer, but not by a float -
>>> 'abc' * 3
'abcabcabc'
>>>
>>> 'abc' * 1.5
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

You probably meant
float(squares) * float(.15)
or more simply
float(squares) * .15
