+In this exercise, you'll be writing code to help a freelancer communicate with a project manager.
+Your task is to provide a few utilities to quickly calculate daily and monthly rates, optionally with a given discount.
 
 We first establish a few rules between the freelancer and the project manager:
 
 - The daily rate is 8 times the hourly rate.
 - A month has 22 billable days.
 
-Sometimes, the freelancer is offering to apply a discount on their daily rate (for example for their most loyal customers or for non-for-profit customers).
