Description:
------------
sprintf("%03d ",(1.15*100)); and values multiplied by 2 return wrong values
ex 114 instead of 115

Test script:
---------------
$price=1.15*100;
echo sprintf("%03d ",$price); // prints 114 instead of 115

$price=1.15*100*2;
echo sprintf("%03d ",$price); // prints 229 instead of 230

$price=1.15*100*4;
echo sprintf("%03d ",$price); // prints 459 instead of 460

$price=1.15*100*8;
echo sprintf("%03d ",$price); // prints 919 instead of 920

$price=1.15*100*10;
echo sprintf("%03d ",$price); // prints 1149 instead of 1150

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might 
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly 
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
