numbers and string

Imagine you have 10 <div> tags on a web page. Each div is 190 pixels wide. Using the two variables in this script, create a new variable named totalWidth that multiplies the width by the numOfDivs variable. Because the width variable is a string, you'll need to use a JavaScript function to retrieve the number value.

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

var totalWidth = parseInt(width) * numOfDivs;

The quiz wants you to utilize the parseInt value. While multiplying width with the numOfDivs.
