float() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)

def make_square(im, min_size=0, fill_color=(206, 150, 106, 0)):
	x, y = im.size
	size = max(min_size, x, y)
	new_im = Image.new('RGB', (size, size), fill_color)
	new_im.paste(im, (float((size - x) / 2, (size - y) / 2)))
	return new_im

then i got error :

The error message is clear. float() converts one thing at a time. If you don't understand what is wrong, then do the arithmetic on the line(s) before calling float and send it one value.
