parseInt() is capitalized in your code "ParseInt()", that's why its undefined, make sure it is lowercase and it should work. also numOfDivs = 10 is already a int so no need for parseInt(numOfDivs).

answer: var width = '190px'; var numOfDivs = 10; var totalWidth = numOfDivs * parseInt(width);

Hi Justin,

You are nearly correct. Please see below code that I used to pass this challenge:

var width = '190px';
var numOfDivs = 10;

var totalWidth = parseInt(width) * numOfDivs;

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!
