In the line const totalWidth = Width * totalImages parseInt; //1900

  1. case mistake Width is lower case 'width'
  2. usage of parseInt is parseInt(width)

const totalWidth = parseInt(width) * totalImages;

parseInt is a function, You have to use it like a function.

const totalWidth = parseInt(width) * totalImages ; //1900
