how is it wrong

var wholesalePrice = 5.45; var retailPrice = 9.99; var quantity = 47;

var salesTotal = 9.99* 47; var profit = (9.99*47)-5.45*47; var profitPerUnit = (9.99*47)-5.45*47/47;

script.js 
var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;

var salesTotal = 9.99* 47;
var profit = (9.99*47)-5.45*47;
var profitPerUnit = (9.99*47)-5.45*47/47;
