Error in Question On Reporting with SQL

In an ecommerce database we have a products table with the columns id, name, category, description, price and stock_count.

The price is in USD. Write a query that returns the product name and price in Pounds Sterling (GBP). The current exchange rate is 1.4 USD to every 1 GBP. Alias the calculated price to price_gbp. Round to two decimal places.

I attempted to use:

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

This did not work.

Hi there! You're doing great, but you have a tiny typo. It asks you to get the Pounds Sterling(GBP) and alias it as price_gbp, but you've aliased it as price_gdp. Both GBP and GDP are acronyms dealing with economics, but one is Pounds Sterling and the other is Gross Domestic Product. When I switch out your "d" for a "b", your code passes with flying colors!

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
