Js 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.

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;

you can simplify by

var profitPerUnit = profit/quantity;

also is your JS file in a JS folder in workspaces then you would need something like

js/script.js
