why is my code wrong?

I do not understand why is my code wrong! I think I'm doing everything right.

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

}

var travel = Expense(description: "Flight to Cupertino", amount: "500.00")

Not quite, amount: "500.00" this is incorrect. "500.00" is a String, not a Double.

You are inserting a string instead of a double for the initializer.

Change 

var travel = Expense(description: "Flight to Cupertino", amount: "500.00")

to

var travel = Expense(description: "Flight to Cupertino", amount: 500.00)
