It's hard to say, because what you're trying to do isn't totally clear.
You want to assign a path to a variable, remove commas from the path, pass that to awk (without actually echo'ing it) and multiply the fifth field by 100, then get a word count.
Sounds like you wanted to cat the files (otherwise what use is sed in this?). And why go to the trouble of multiplying the fifth field and then pipiing the output through wc?
Perhaps something like:
If you want to use wc, then the multiplication inside awk serves no purpose because wc will only show the lines, words and characters:
(if your fields in the CSV files have spaces in them, then the wc output is meaningless)
If you want a record count from each file then use
