help on challenge

Can someone please explain how to complete this part of the challenge I cannot get it to work

Add a Double as a return type to the calculateTaxes method and within the method return the following expression: (self.amount * (Percentage/100))

struct.swift 
struct Expense {
    var description: String
    var amount: Double = 0.0
    var percentage: Double = 0.0 
    init (description: String, percentage: Double) {
        self.description = description
        self.percentage = percentage

    }
func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double) -> Double {
return Double ()   

}

    // add the calculateTaxes method here
    // it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double

}

Hi, matt tripodi , actually the challenge description has already given you the answer for this problem.

within the method return the following expression: (self.amount * (percentage/100))

func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double) -> Double {
  return self.amount * (percentage/100)
}

Hope that helps.
