Exchange rate incorrect calculation

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

Above is my code. I'm fairly certain the code is correct and that the question calls for the price (in DB as USD) to be divided by 1.4 and return the price in GBP, according to the conversion rate provided. What am i doing wrong? I first tried to perform the code with a multiplication to get the conversion but this was rejected, a division is only accepted for the exercise.

The calculation itself is fine. But the challenge asks you to "Write a query that returns the product name and price in Pounds Sterling (GBP).",. The original "price" in dollars is not part of the query requirement.

Also, the challenge instructions say to "Alias the calculated price to price_gbp." But your alias name is "price_gdp" (with a "d" instead of a "b").
