Question

Hello I am trying to do a simple calculation of three values: a + b * c but getting wrong total. If a is 10 and b is 10 it would be 20 multiplied by c which is 2.4. I should get 48 as total. Currently getting 2424.

function compute() {
  var a = $('#a').val();
  var b = $('#b').val();
  var c = $('#c').val();
  var total = (a + b) * c;
  $('#total').val(total);
}

$('#a, #b, #c').change(compute);

Answer 1

try after parsing the values like:
var total = (parseFloat(a) + parseFloat(b)) * parseFloat(c);
