Note that this function prints its result and then returns None.

OTOH, it looks like this print statement expects the function to
return its result.

The simplest (and most general) solution would seem to be to
define the function to return its result:

    define compute(income, percent):
        result = income * percent / 100
        return result

Then the print statement will work as written.
