Exercise 3: Write a program to prompt the user for hours and rate per hour to compute gross pay.
Enter Hours: 35
Enter Rate: 2.75
Pay: 96.25
We won't worry about making sure our pay has exactly two digits after the decimal place for now. If you want, you can play with the built-in Python round
function to properly round the resulting pay to two decimal places.
