I think the exercise is broke

the exercise says step 1 doesnt work anymore, but I didn't change anything. I think It is broke.

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

Hey Liam,

Did you post your entire code block? I've ran through this challenge twice with no issues on my end.

The challenges work fine. you have to follow what they want though exactly. 

var salesTotal = retailPrice * quantity;
var profit = salesTotal - (wholesalePrice * quantity);
var profitPerUnit = profit/quantity;
