Better you try awk it's very simple and easy

Code:
$ awk -v a=15.42 -v b=13.33 'BEGIN{printf "%5.2f\n", a*b}'
205.55

for variable
Code:
$ my_variable=$(awk -v a=15.42 -v b=13.33 'BEGIN{printf "%5.2f\n", a*b}')
$ echo $my_variable
205.55

OR just print
Code:
$ awk -v a=15.42 -v b=13.33 'BEGIN{OFMT="%5.2f";print a*b}'
205.55
