1,307 PointsCreate another variable named profit. It should hold the value of the salesTotal variable minus the wholesalePrice multi
Keeps telling me to go back to task 1 because its not passing when I clearly have it correct. this is a flat-out bug.
var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = retailPrice * quantity;
var profit = salesTotal - wholeSalePrice * quantity;

JavaScript is case-sensitive which means that even if you have a uppercase letter in a variable name and you type it lowercase (or the other way around), it would be considered a different variable.
I hope this helps. ~Alex

var profit = salesTotal - wholesalePrice * quantity;

The "not passing task 1" could just be a syntax error.
Since the challenge re-tests the older tasks first, if a syntax error has been introduced it may cause it not to pass task 1 even though the error is not in the code that was added for task 1.
But for your task 2 code, you spelled "wholeSalePrice" with a capital "S", when the variable already established by the challenge is "wholesalePrice" (lower-case "s").
