Hey  
I was hoping someone could tell me a way that I can make a variables number have two decimal places (like money) even if they are zeros.  
Like 2.00  
I can use the  
variable=variable\*100;  
variable=math.round(variable);  
variable=variable/100;  
way but that still takes away the decimals if they are zeros.  
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
