How do you make a price in javascript? ex $1.99

Question

I would like the output for each function to yield $x.xx as if it were a price. Being new to javascript is there a simple way to accomplish this or is it a complex system to get the results that I desire for my project?

Below is the code i have made in javascript:

    //First function outputs a random number
    var myFirstFunction = function(First)
    {
        return First;

    };

    var FirstAnswer = myFirstFunction(Math.random());


    console.log(FirstAnswer);

    //Second function outputs the random number multiplied by 10
    var mySecondFunction = function(Second)
    {
        return Second * 10;
    };

    var SecondAnswer = mySecondFunction(FirstAnswer);

    console.log(SecondAnswer);

    //Third function divided the random number by 3.3
    var myThirdFunction = function(Third)
    {
        return Third / 3.3;
    }

    var ThirdAnswer = myThirdFunction(SecondAnswer);

    console.log(ThirdAnswer)

Use toFixed:

function price (number) {
    return '$' + number.toFixed(2);
}
