I'm not sure, but in the cases of decimals in KNP, I used to make a number a few times bigger than the amount of decimals I wanted to do.
Let's say I want like an arrow to do Dmg*Multiplier damage. Problem is, Multiplier is something that has to be a decimaled number with around 2 decimal points. This is what I'd do..
Assume Dmg = 3, Multiplier's supposed to be 1.35...
I'll set Alterable Value A (Damage) to 3
Alterable Value B (Multiplier) to 135
Damage = Dmg*Multiplier/100
The answer will still be correct. Not as accurate and not so easy, but it works if you don't have any alternative. I think a lot of other things in TGF and the old MMF use only integers.

Well, unless MMF has an undocumented floor/ceiling function (and I really wouldn't know, I'd been using the squaring-rooting method instead of abs() up until recently), you could do a little recursive dealie that uses mod to check if the last digit >=5, strip it and add to the next order of mag.
Like I wrote, store $1.50 as 150, then when you calculate, divide by 100. You'd have 150/100*3. And like Phizzy said, you can just move the decimal point there with a little string manipulation.
