Incorrect vs Correct Answer

The last 2 questions as for the Total Revenue and Free Cash Flow of Amazon from Fiscal Year 2018. I have entered the correct amount and received a check mark on the answer but it has been logged as incorrect. Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

When I enter the correct answers, I see a green check along with a "Well done!". It sounds like you may have discovered a bug where it marks certain incorrect answers with a check mark.

Tell us what you were entering and we can confirm the behavior (and I can confirm that the answers are different from the ones that got me "Well done!").

I'm not sure what you mean by "sort it out". I'd be willing to confirm the issue if Pongnatee will post the full details, but I couldn't do anything about fixing it other than making the same report to the support staff that any student can.

I really do apologize for the lateness of my reply. I have been so caught in the courses that Treehouse has to offer. @Steve Parker, @Piotr Manczak, and @KRIS NIKOLAISEN, the problem with answers that I placed into the blank that I had added commas to indicate the number places, for example, 1,000 for a thousand. I tried both with and without commas and I got an error. If this does not clear anything up I would be happy to take screenshots of what I am placing in and the results of the answer being correct or wrong.

The question shows use of a comma

for example, $123,456,000,000 should be entered as 123,456

No need to make and host a screenshot just to confirm the answer. Simply paste it in or type it.

Maybe you need a different data source. I can confirm the accepted answer for total revenue can be read from this page and the accepted answer for cash flow can be calculated from this page

Is the total revenue not 232,877? I've seen that in multiple spots as total revenue, but it's not the accepted answer.
