Describe the Issue

When working through the Shopping Cart Step 48, mentions the following:

Declare a variable tax and assign it the value of calling your new .calculateTaxes() method, passing subTotal as the argument.

And when passing the following solution:

calculateTotal() {
  const subTotal = this.items.reduce((total, item) => total + item.price, 0);
  const tax = calculateTaxes(subTotal);
}

This hint shows up:

Assign the value of calling your new .calculateTaxes() method, passing subTotal as the argument, to the tax variable.

This doesn't pass because is expecting the following:

calculateTotal() {
  const subTotal = this.items.reduce((total, item) => total + item.price, 0);
  const tax = this.calculateTaxes(subTotal);
}

I think adding the hint "Remember to use the this keyword." is a valid hint, just like in step 49 when the this keyword is not added in the solution.

It may be repetitive, but I think the user should be informed for this possible mistake. It's already in other steps anyway.

Your code

calculateTotal() {
  const subTotal = this.items.reduce((total, item) => total + item.price, 0);
  const tax = calculateTaxes(subTotal);
}

Expected behavior

When passing the incorrect code from the above, add the "Remember to use the this keyword." hint and validation.
