Swift Enums and Structs

I'm stuck on this last challenge and I need some help, Challenge Task 4 of 4

We need to figure out the tax amount when the tax percentage is 7.5 percent. Call the method calculateTaxes on the variable item and assign the result to a new variable named taxes.

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: "car")
item.amount = 100

Hello : Sorry I am not looking at the challenge and trying it out myself, but I will try to help you with what I can see the challenge is asking you for.

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: "car")
item.amount = 100
var taxes = item.calculateTaxes(7.5) // Here

// we are calling the method and assigning it to a variable 
// called taxes

Try this out, and please let me know if that works for you.
