What does the error message mean?
Create a variable named item ... be sure to assign the amount on the next line!
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))
}
// add the calculateTaxes method here
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
}
var item = Expense(description: "Resturaunt Taxes", amount: 100)

3,461 PointsYou're close, but read the task again in part 3/4. Not sure if you wanted to see part 4 solved, but see below for part 3 solved. When you reread the part 3 task and look at my code, hopefully a lightbulb will go off.
struct Expense {
var description: String
var amount: Double = 0.0
init (description: String) {
self.description = description
}
// add the calculateTaxes method here
// it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double) -> Double {
return (self.amount * (percentage/100))
}
}
var item = Expense(description: "Business")
item.amount = 100.0
