what's wrong in my code?

Create a method called 'calculateTip' that takes a float variable called 'subtotal' as a parameter, multiplies that value times 0.2 and returns a float value.

variable_assignment.mm 
-(void)calculateTip = (subtotal*0.2);

functions in objective C follow a format: -(return type of function) function name: (input 1 type) Input_1_name andInput_2_name:(input 2 type) Input_2_name{ function code }

So in your case, the answer would be: -(float) calculateTip: (float) subtotal{return subtotal*0.2;}
