I cant figure out what is wrong with my code. i keep getting errors

Question

e1 = input("Enter Ingredient 1: ")
e1o = input("How Many Ounces Of " + e1 + ':')
e2 = input("Enter Ingredient 2: ")
e2o = input("How Many Ounces of " + e2 + ':')
e3 = input("Enter Ingredient 3: ")
e3o = input("How many ounces of " + e3 + ':')
serve = input('How Many Servings?: ')

print('Total ounces of ' + e1 + ': ' + str(serve * e1o))
print('Total ounces of ' + e2 + ': ' + str(serve * e20))
print('Total ounces of ' + e3 + ': ' + str(serve * e3o))

The errors I'm getting are:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 9, in <module>
    print('Total ounces of ' + e1 + ': ' + int(str(serve * e1o)))
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'str'

The post title should describe your question or problem well enough so that readers get the gist of what it's about ("Problem with Java function" is not very descriptive).

When you use the input() method in python to take input from the user, it will take all input as a string. You then try to multiple 2 string together, make sure you cast the strings to numbers before applying the math operator to them like below:

print('Total ounces of ' + e1 + ': ' + str(int(serve) * int(e1o)))
print('Total ounces of ' + e2 + ': ' + str(int(serve) * int(e2o)))
print('Total ounces of ' + e3 + ': ' + str(int(serve) * int(e3o)))
