Sorry mind I asked another question here?
So lets say if I want to multiply 34.3 with 23, is it possible to print on the 5th column? Where the 5th column is the total of the first row.

Code:
Logitech             My Store   34.3   23  788.9 
Altec Lansing        Partner    45.9   20  918

How do ya put it inside here?

Code:
awk -F: '{    printf "%-15s %-10s %6.1f %d\n", $1, $2, $3, $4    }' infile

Yes:

Code:
awk -F: '{ 
  printf "%-15s %-10s %6.1f %d %.1f\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $3 * $4 
  }' infile

No,

.width - specify maximum string width or digits to right of decimal point.
f - is a format control letter, it tells the printf statement to print a number in floating-point notation.

Check the GUN awk manual for more details, 5.5 Using printf Statements for Fancier Printing.
