Can't figure it out
var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = retailPrice * quantity;
var profit = salesTotal - wholeSalePrice * quantity;

var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = retailPrice * quantity;
var profit = salesTotal - wholesalePrice * quantity; // On this line of code I changed wholeSalePrice to wholesalePrice. :)
Hope this helps and good luck! ~Alex

Hope this helps.
