12,106 PointsWhy is my calculation wrong?
It seems like the query is right, yet I am off on the calculation, I think this quiz is broken...

12,106 PointsThis is my query:
SELECT name, ROUND(price / 1.4, 2) AS "price_gdp" FROM products;
It tells me my calculation is off.

The challenge asked for the column to be aliased as "price_gbp" (with a "b"), but you wrote "price_gdp" (with a "d").

Tim Tyslyuk , please always try to ask the question from the link provided in the challenge / video, as this automatically links to the relevant content. In the case of a challenge, someone helping can post your code in the challenge screen to see the result and quickly make an adjustment to check they are giving correct advice.

12,106 PointsThis is the question:
In an ecommerce database we have a products table with the columns id, name, category, description, price and stock_count. The price is in USD. Write a query that returns the product name and price in Pounds Sterling (GBP). The current exchange rate is 1.4 USD to every 1 GBP. Alias the calculated price to price_gbp. Round to two decimal places.
