Need help centering once again.

I can't seem to center my table. I tired using margin: 0 auto; I have also tried making the div inline-block and using floats.

code is at http://codepen.io/JohnSpahn/pen/yJAgBq

You had margin: 50 auto; in your .centered selector, for one. If you add width: 100%; to your wrapper, it will center as long as you fix the 50 auto typo. (I'm guessing you meant margin: 50px auto; )

.wrapper {
  display: inline-block;
  border: solid 1px;
  width: 100%;
}

.centered {
  margin: 50px auto;
  padding: 50px;
}

Here's some more reading for centering tables. https://www.granneman.com/webdev/coding/css/centertables/
