Template syntax - maths operators

Hi,

I have just been reading the GT::Template syntax guide for Links SQL and I am a little stuck on the math operators.

I am trying to show 5% less of varaiable 'cost' to 2 decimal places. Cost is a numerical variable.

i.e. <%cost%> is the normal product cost but I want to add a second value below it as a sale price, hence why I would like Links SQL to calculate the 5% dicount automatically.

Hope that makes sense.

Regards

Alex

Maybe something like this?

<%Discount($Cost)%>

Code:
sub { 

   my $cost = $_[0]; 
   my $percentage = sprintf ("%0.2f",$cost / 100 * 95); 
   return $percentage; 

}

Cheers
