I botched this code challenge, please help

I tried this every which way, and the editor does not give any feedback. I put it into xcode, and it can't even tell it is a method, because I am guessing this code challenge has an answer that is correct in isolation in this context because it is a quiz, but cannot be tested in xcode because xcode wants the other code that supports the method. I am really stuck here, and have repeatedly watched the videos.

variable_assignment.mm 
-(float)calculateTip:(float)subTotal, (float) tip{


tip = subTotal * 0.2;

  return;

}

well it looks like you are taking two arguments when you only need one, and you are not returning anything. so i think i would take tip out of the parameter list so that it only takes subtotal, then return tip as calculated. also it wants the parameter to be subtotal, not subTotal.
