6,155 PointsBummer! The taxes variable was expected to be a Double, but it wasn't!
On the last objective of the final Challenge of Structs and Their Methods, I thought I was all set with this code:
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double) -> Double {
return self.amount * (percentage/100)
}
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
}
var item = Expense(description: "Something")
item.amount = 100
var taxes = Expense.calculateTaxes(item)
Unfortunately, it told me the the taxes variable I declared had to be of type double. I checked for complier errors and there were none. I'm confused and any help would be appreciated.

Here is the code:
struct Expense { var description: String var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double) -> Double { return self.amount * (percentage/100) } // it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
}
var item = Expense(description: "Something") item.amount = 100 var taxes = item.calculateTaxes(7.5)
Hope that helps and goodluck!!!
