You are getting error with this code because you are trying to convert the float value to int while taking input. If you want to take a float input from user then round the value as you want and turn it into a string value then you can use the code provided below: 

number = float(input("Please give the number"))  # take input as float

print("Formatted Number: " + str(round(number,2)))  # round upto 2 and convert to string

Please let me know if this is what you are looking for or not.

Following syntax that you mentioned 

print("Formatted Number: " + "{:.2f}".format(number));

will work but you cant round int number.

Remove "int" from number = int(input("Please give the number"))

and replace it with "float" number = float(input("Please give the number"))

In place of "int" you can use "eval" more about eval 

  number = eval(input("Please give the number"))
  print("Formatted Number: " + "{:.2f}".format(number));
  print(number)
