Struct methods task 4 of 4

I know I'm close, but can't figure it out. Can someone show me what I'm doing wrong? thanks.

struct.swift 
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)
    }

}
var item = Expense(description: "Ray Bans")
item.amount = 100

var item2 = calculateTaxes(percentage: 7.5)
var taxes = 0.075

Here : you had it right

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)
    }

}
var item = Expense(description: "Ray Ban")
item.amount = 100
var taxes = item.calculateTaxes(7.5)
