I need help with a loop that replaces a number in a sentence

[wordone]

Hi,

If I have a sentence like this:

"I now have a total of % yellow bananas!"

but I need it to change the number 2 to a 3, print, then a 4, print, etc until it reaches a set number like 10, how can I go about that?

sentence = "I now have a total of % yellow bananas!"

for i in range(2,11):
    print sentence %i

but that gets me an error:
ValueError: unsupported format character 'y' (0x79) at index 9

When I try it with a different sentence:

sentence = " I have % dogs!"
for i in range(2,11):
    print sentence %i

...it almost works:
I have 2ogs!
I have 3ogs!
I have 4ogs!
I have 5ogs!
I have 6ogs!
I have 7ogs!
I have 8ogs!
I have 9ogs!
I have 10ogs!

Python is interpreting the "d" in "% d" as a string formatting type specifier. Add an 's' or other appropriate specifier.

>>> sentence = " I have %s dogs!"
>>> for i in range(2,11):
... 	print sentence % i
... 	
 I have 2 dogs!
 I have 3 dogs!
 I have 4 dogs!
 I have 5 dogs!
 I have 6 dogs!
 I have 7 dogs!
 I have 8 dogs!
 I have 9 dogs!
 I have 10 dogs!
