Simple Number Calculations

The four basic number functions — multiply, add, subtract, and divide — calculate numerical results in a formula.

Use simple number functions — addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division — to calculate numerical results.

Operator	Description	Example
`*` (multiply)	Returns the result of multiplying two numbers	`3 * 2 = 6`, `price * taxrate`
`+` (add)	Returns the result of adding two numbers	`1 + 2 = 3`, `price + shipping`
`-` (subtract)	Returns the result of subtracting the second number from the first	`3 - 2 = 1`, `revenue - tax`
`/` (divide)	Returns the result of dividing the first number by the second	`6 / 3 = 2`, `markup / retail price`
