Working out Currency Conversion

Struggling with this one quite a bit. I should just be converting the price to GDP from USD, which means dividing by 1.4 in this example, but for some reason I keep being given an error at the end. 

SELECT name, ROUND(price / 1.4, 2) AS price_gdp FROM products;

It's not liking that one bit, and I can't figure out why.

It's from the 'Performing Math' quiz on the 'Reporting With SQL' course.

You're gonna love this one...

:point_right: You aliased your column as price_gdp, but the challenge is expecting price_gbp.

Just change the d to a b to fix the typo. A trick I use to avoid this kind of error is cut-and-paste whenever the challenge requires some specific data value or name.
