JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Working With Numbers Doing Math

When submitting my answer for Q2, it returns a message that says Q1 is no longer correct. But it is when I go back.

When submitting my answer for question 2, I get a message that states my answer for question 1 is no longer valid. However, when I go back to one, leave the same answer and submit it again, it returns correct. Then, when I get back to question 2, the cycle repeats, ad nauseum.

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

You've made a simple typo - that's all.

In your profit variable you misspelled the wholesalePrice variable.

var profit = salesTotal - wholeSalePrice * quantity;

should be:

var profit = salesTotal - wholesalePrice * quantity;

It'll work after you make this change. Hope this helps.

Hey Richard,

You got a typo there — in JavaScript, variables are case-sensitive. wholesalePrice as opposed to wholeSalePrice.
