Hey Natalie,

I think it is because you have a comma in $10.99 instead of a period. Change that and give that a try.

Keep Coding! :)

:point_right: I would have guessed it was because of the comma and the quotes around the value.

But I tried it in the challenge, and apparently it works fine with or without the quotes! But you can't count on that working in a real database. They typically will not let you put quotes around a number (or leave them off a string).

Also, at least some database engines allow you to set session variables to accommodate regional numeric formats that might actually use the comma as the decimal separator.
