It says that task one isin't passing but when I back to check it, it works great. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong. Thanks

script.js 
var wholeSalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = retailPrice  *  quantity;
var profit = salesTotal - wholeSalePrice * quantity;

Hi Daniel,

It seems you renamed one of the original variables that was provided to you at the beginning of the challenge.

In Task 1, the first variable was defined as "wholesalePrice", but now you've capitalized the 'S' in 'Sale'. I'm not sure why you changed the variable name, but that is the reason it won't let you get past Task 2. Your formula is correct, but you shouldn't modify anything in the challenges that you are not explicitly asked to modify.
