multiplication in django template without using manually created template tag

Question

I want to achieve multiplication operation in django template. For example I have the values, price=10.50 quantity=3

With the help of this link

http://slacy.com/blog/2010/07/using-djangos-widthratio-template-tag-for-multiplication-division/

i tried below codes for achieving it,

{% widthratio quantity 1 price %}

but its returning only 31. But i need the answer in float (31.5)

And i want to achieve it without using the manually created tags

How can i achieve it? Thanks in advance...

You can use the built-in widthratio template tag.

• a*b use {% widthratio a 1 b %}
• a/b use {% widthratio a b 1 %}

Note: the results are rounded to an integer before returning.
