I am trying to convert a numeric field to text and concatenate it to a string, but I want to always show 2 decimal places after the number I am converting. WHat I am getting now is:

ITEM A RETAIL PRICE 100.05 (expected output)
ITEM B RETAIL PRICE 100 (bad output, I want 100.00)

Any help appreciated.
