The code will result in an error message.
The code provided will result in an error message. The function `calculateTax` takes only one argument, `subtotal`. However, when calling the function with `calculateTax(10.00, 5.00)`, two arguments are passed. This will cause a TypeError.
The code provided will result in an error message.
The function calculateTax() is defined with only one parameter, subtotal. However, when the function is called here: amount = calculateTax(10.00, 5.00), it is passed two arguments, 10.00 and 5.00.
To fix the error, you need to remove the second argument when calling the function. It should be like this: amount = calculateTax(10.00)
Additionally, there is a minor indentation issue in the code. The return statement should be indented inside the function definition. Here's the corrected code:
```python
def calculateTax(subtotal):
tax = subtotal * 0.0825
return tax
amount = calculateTax(10.00)
```
Now, the calculateTax() function will take the subtotal value of 10.00 and calculate the tax by multiplying it with 0.0825 (8.25%). The calculated tax will be returned and stored in the variable amount.
