My current solution does not calculate the added ship cost. My condition isn’t working, I’ve been able to do similar problems with functions but I would like to know where I went wrong here.

<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
var numOrdered = 0;
var priceItem = 0;
var shipCost = 0;
var amtDue = 0;
numOrdered = prompt("Enter the number ordered ",0);
priceItem = prompt("Enter the price of the item ",0);
amtDue = numOrdered * priceItem;
if (amtDue > 1000)
   {
    shipCost = 0;
   }
else
   {
    shipCost = amtDue * .1;
   }
amtDue = amtDue + shipCost;
document.write("You owe ", amtDue);
</script>
</html>

    It works for me. I put your code here: http://jsfiddle.net/XVzKb/

    No changes — if I enter 5 and then when prompted again 10 the total displayed in the page is 55 which is 5 * 10 * 1.1 = 55. Note that if your input includes a non-numeric character like $ or , then you’ll need to parse it like so:

    number = parseInt(response.replace(/[^0-9]/g, ''), 10)
