This template should always be substituted (i.e. use {{subst:Cents}}).

This template calculates the cent value of its first argument (defaults to 1). An optional second argument controls the precision, it defaults to 0 decimal places.

Usage

{{subst: cents|ratio|prec}}

{{subst: cents|3^12/2^19|5}}

gives:
