It is hard to decide the best solution, I RTFM and it sugests using
%DEC, but also eval(r) seems good.
Probably using 1.00 instead of 1 or changing to mult by 100 and divide

In paraguay we don't use cents ( a dolar is 5000 guaranies), so ones,
fives, tens are paticaly worthless.
But recently the legislators presented a proyect to take 3 ceros out,
and use decimals. Since several of our tables where created in a S/34
the two decimal places where an important saving. We "modernized" the
interface (it is all web now) but we never bother to add the decimals.
Alter table does a good job, but we will have to check the programs in
which we do rounding, or as I found out today, where we have division.
