Create a new variable salesTotal that contains the total of the retailPrice multiplied by the quantity variable.
Just create a new variable salesTotal. var salesTotal equal to retailPrice multiplied quantity.
Second task.
Create another variable named profit. It should hold the value of the salesTotal variable minus the wholesalePrice multiplied by the quantity. In other words, if you sold 47 items for 9.99 but only paid 5.45 for each item, how much money did you make?
Create a new variable named profit. var profit equal to salesTotal minus wholesalePrice multiplied quantity; Hope this help!
