3,016 PointsCreate a new variable salesTotal that contains the total of the retailPrice multiplied by the quantity variable.
So I know my answer is correct, and I know how I got it. But I'm curious, if I were to put
var salesTotal = retailPrice * quantity;
would that still be sufficient? Because that's what I put first and I got it wrong. So I was wondering maybe for the code challenge it would be wrong because it needs a specific answer. But generally speaking, would my first answer have been sufficient? Thanks
var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = 9.99 * quantity;

10,868 PointsIt's possible you may have had a typo in your first attempt. Both of these solutions passed the test in my code challenge window. Generally speaking what you put is fine since the values you want to multiply are stored in those variables. Your first answer was actually the best answer IMO.
