Bummer: Didn't correctly set the `@price` property

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/define-setter-property - link to Andrea's question.

I did same as Andrea and I don't know what I am supposed to do. 'They just want a way to update the base price itself.'. I don't understand it.

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):
        self._price = price / (tax_rate + 1)

Just update the price with the price passed in. There is no need for calculations with the tax rate.
