Multiplying a number from a text file

So I am trying to multiply a number from a text file to a variable called quantity which is also a number but for example 3x5 , it would output 33333, but I need 15, how do I fix this?

if GTIN=='86947367':
with open("read_it.txt") as fp:
    next(fp)
    next(fp)
    total1=quantity*int(next(fp))
    print(total1)

output:33333

Well, obviously, your quantity is as string '3' - and this gets multiplied by 5, giving '33333'. You need one more int() to convert the '3' to 3 :)
