How to convert Scientific Notation to Float?

I tried different codes but I'm stuck in this. I get the output as a scientific notation when I convert the float to a precision of 8. I need to convert this to float back so I can do further calculations.

Code:

order_cummulativeQuoteQty = 0.0003400
order_executedQty = 8.97
ENTRY_PRICE = f"{order_cummulativeQuoteQty / order_executedQty:0.8f}"

CTP = ENTRY_PRICE

CTP += (CTP * 2.0 / 100)

print(CTP)

Error:

CTP += (CTP * 2 / 100)  
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int'

How can I convert entry price back to float but it shouldn't be scientific notation again?

You should leave ENTRY_PRICE as a float for doing your further arithmetic, only convert to str for printing purposes.

order_cummulativeQuoteQty = 0.0003400
order_executedQty = 8.97

ENTRY_PRICE = order_cummulativeQuoteQty / order_executedQty

CTP = ENTRY_PRICE
CTP += (CTP * 2.0 / 100)

print(f'{ENTRY_PRICE:0.8f}')
print(f'{CTP:0.8f}')

Output

0.00003790
0.00003866
