help! Create one last variable name profitPerUnit. In that variable store the amount of profit you made for each unit. You can calculate this by dividing the profit by the quantity. I keep getting you didn't make profitperUnit and I know I did make one.

script.js 
var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal= retailPrice * quantity;
var profit= salesTotal- wholesalePrice * quantity;
var profitperUnit = profit/quantity;

Looks like you mistyped the variable name for the last variable, give this a try.

var profitPerUnit = profit / quantity;

Hope this helps, happy coding!
