What is wrong with this code? It's runs in Xcode.

Please help.

struct.swift
struct Expense {
    var description: String
    var amount: Double

    init (description: String, amount: Double) {
        self.description = description
        self.amount = amount
    }

    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: "La mama de los pollitos", amount: 100)

You should do it in 2 lines.

Also, very important, you are not supposed to make change to the original init method, it takes only 1 argument.

    init (description: String) {
        self.description = description
    }

(remember to use the initializer with the description parameter. Enter any description you like)

On the next line assign the amount property a value of 100.

var item = Expense(description: "La mama de los pollitos")
item.amount = 100
