Hi all I am working on a shopping site and I am trying to calculate the subtotal of products.

I got my price from a array and quantity from getJSON response array. Two of them multiply

comes to my subtotal. I can change the quantity and it will comes out different subtotal.

However,when I change the quantity to certain number, the final subtotal is like

259.99999999994 or some long decimal number. I use console.log to check the $price and $qty. Both of them are in the correct format ex..299.99 and 6 quantity.I have no idea what happen. I would appreciate it if someone can help me about it.

Here is my Jquery code.

    $(".price").each(function(index, price){

     $price=$(this);

    //get the product id and the price shown on the page
    var id=$price.closest('tr').attr('id');
var indiPrice=$($price).html();

    //take off $ 
indiPrice=indiPrice.substring(1)

    //make sure it is number format
    var aindiPrice=Number(indiPrice);

    //push into the array
productIdPrice[id]=(aindiPrice);

var url=update.php

 $.getJSON(
    url,
   {productId:tableId,   //tableId is from the other jquery code which refers to           
   qty:qty},               productId

 function(responseProduct){

$.each(responseProduct, function(productIndex, Qty){
//loop the return data 
if(productIdPrice[productIndex]){
//get the price from the previous array we create X Qty
    newSub=productIdPrice[productIndex]*Number(Qty);
      //productIdPrice[productIndex] are the price like 199.99 or 99.99
      // Qty are Quantity like 9 or 10 or 3
sum+=newSub;
newSub.toFixed(2);  //try to solve the problem with toFixed but  
                         didn't work                
console.log("id: "+productIdPrice[productIndex])
console.log("Qty: "+Qty);
console.log(newSub); **//newSub sometime become XXXX.96999999994**  

};

Thanks again!
