My code looks like this:
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: "Hi")
item.amount = 100
item.calculateTaxes(7.5)
// How do i assign the result to a new variable named taxes???

My Swift skills are very iffy, but where you have:
item.calculateTaxes(7.5)
can you just do:
var taxes = item.calculateTaxes(7.5)
? Seems like it should do the trick.

Courses Plus Student 15,815 PointsEdited your post for proper code inclusion (3 backticks before and after code will make it easier to read). Wish I could help with the question!
