Get data that's in a tag (HTML content)

<meta itemprop="price" content="4.05"/>

Here's my HTML that I need to extract 4.05 from.

I'm using BeautifulSoup with Python.

EDIT:

I also need to use itemprop="price" because I have more than one <meta content="x"/>

soup.find("meta", {"itemprop":"price"})["content"]
4.05
