How to change value of comma in python?

Question

How do I change the default value of the , in the following code so that it does not insert a space

gas = int(input("How much have you spent on gas? "))
electric = int(input("How much have you spent on electric? "))
onlinePurchases = int(input("How much have you spent on online purchases? "))
total = gas + electric + onlinePurchases

print("Monthly Total: $", total)

The current code would print:

"Monthly total: $ *total*"

Is there a way to make it print:

"Monthly total: $*total*"

I do not want a space between the dollar sign and the amount.

From python print docs:

print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout, flush=False)

So you would want

print("Monthly Total: $", total, sep='')

Changing sep (separator) from a space to an empty string

Thank you and just so i know is "sep" short for "separation" and if not what does it stand for?

print("Monthly Total: ${0}".format(total))

or

print("Monthly Total: $%d" % total)
