Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing. What am I doing wrong?

It always says to me that Task 1 is no longer passing but I'm not changing anything

script.js
var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = retailPrice * quantity;
var profit = (salesTotal - wholeSalePrice) * quantity;

wholesalePrice is spelled wrong in your profit declaration. This will get task one passing again.

However, your answer is also wrong because of the parentheses changing what the formula should do. Remove the parentheses and your code will work.
