Hi everyone, I have a problem figuring out why this code wont work. Kindly help me see the error. Thank you.

I need to be able to set the price of a product through a property setter. And I have added a new setter (@price.setter) method to the Product class that updates the _price attribute.

But I get this error Bummer: Didn't correctly set the @price property

product.py 
class Product:
    _price = 0.0
    tax_rate = 0.12

    def __init__(self, base_price):
        self._price = base_price

    @property
    def price(self):
        return self._price + (self._price * self.tax_rate)


    @price.setter
    def price(self, _price):
        return self._price + (self._price * self.tax_rate)

It looks like rather than setting the price you are actually returning the cost of the product including tax.

All you're looking to do is set the value of _price

    @price.setter
    def price(self, price):
        self._price = price
