Scientific notation in Elixir

I am pulling some data from mongodb 

{
  "id": "123",
  "name": "foo",
  "credit": 10000
}

For some reason when I get the credit as a Float type with the value of 1.0e4 which is equal to 10000.
How can i parse it to a regular display (10000) ?

To convert a float to an integer you can use round/1 or trunc/1

iex> round(10000.00)
10000

iex> trunc(10000.00)
10000

To output a float as an integer string, you can use :erlang.float_to_binary/2

iex> :erlang.float_to_binary(10000.00, decimals: 0)
"10000"
