Keeping the the zero at the end of decimals

[gummo]

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I haven't used Quick Basic in years, and I'm attempting to make an economic sim game. QB drops the zeros that I use in decimal numbers,  and I was wondering if there was a way around that, that wasn't too cumbersome. Basically what I'm trying to do is to manipulate the price of goods and the player's income. Also, if anyone is aware of tutorials in making this sort of game I'd be very grateful. Thanks much.
