What are they talking about? I literally followed the steps...
var wholesalePrice = 5.45;
var retailPrice = 9.99;
var quantity = 47;
var salesTotal = 9.99 * 47;
var profit = 213.38 - 9.99 * 47;

So isntead of "9.99 * 47", the more literal interpretation would be "retailPrice * quantity".
With that in mind, I'll bet you can get all the tasks now.
