How can I make 213.38( profit ) to appear like h2 ? I tried only <h2>profit</h2> but nothing is displayed.

To be more clear: I want to see the 213.38 like an h2 without having to use '<h2>The number is ' + profit + ' !</h2>'.I hope I was understandable, thx

script.js
var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = 9.99 * 47;
var profit = salesTotal  - (5.45 * 47);
document.write('<h2>The number is ' + profit + ' !</h2>)';

If you run this through the console you'll see you are missing a closing parenthesis on line 6 of your script

document.write('<h2>The number is ' + profit + ' !</h2>)';

should be

document.write('<h2>The number is ' + profit + ' !</h2>');

Your closing parenthesis needs to be outside the final quote.
