The function will return the value of the tax.
The function calculateTax will return the value of the variable tax.
In this function, the value that will be returned is the variable "tax".
To understand why this is the case, let's break down the function:
1. The function is called "calculateTax". This is just the name of the function and does not affect what is returned.
2. The function is defined using the keyword "def". Again, this is not what is returned, but rather how the function is defined.
3. Inside the function, a variable called "subtotal" is used. This parameter is used to calculate the tax.
4. The tax is calculated by multiplying the subtotal by 0.0825, which represents an 8.25% tax rate.
5. Finally, the variable "tax" is returned using the keyword "return".
Therefore, when this function is called with a specific subtotal value, it will calculate and return the tax value.
