am getting the error that @price property is not set correctly but am getting proper results when run it on my computer

I am getting correct results when i run it on my computer but here it says that the @price property is not set properly

product.py 
class Product:
    _price = 0.0
    tax_rate = 0.12

    def __init__(self, base_price):
        self._price = base_price

    @property
    def price(self):
        return self._price + (self._price * self.tax_rate)

    @price.setter
    def price(self,price):
        self._price = price/(1+self.tax_rate)

Hi Muhammad,

The challenge just requires that the method

updates the _price attribute

    @price.setter
    def price(self, price):
        self._price = price

Very close though, keep at it.

Dave.

Thanks Dave but i am updating the _price attribute in my code. I am not assigning the value passed to it since the value that is passed is for the final price attribute and not the _price attribute. So i am calculating the _price attribute and setting that _price attribute based on the calculation instead of assigning the passed value to it (which is supposed to be the new price attribute and not the new _price attribute as per my understanding)
