It looks like 'quantity' is misspelled in line 5 of the script.js file and I think you need semi-colons ; at the end of the variables on lines 4 and 5.

You're also missing brackets on line 5:

var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = retailPrice * quantity;
var profit = salesTotal - (wholesalePrice * quantity);
