    Default Help doing maths

    Hi
    I have a database that has amongst others the fields "Price" and "Quantity".
    What i need to do is multiply the "Price" by the "Quantity" for each record
    and then add them all up to give a "Subtotal"

    I think i am way of track with as the result is nowhere near correct

    <cfquery name="GetSubtotal" datasource="#Application.dsn#">
    SELECT (SUM(Price)) * (SUM(Quantity)) as Subtotal
    FROM ProductsOrdered
    </cfquery>

    Then outputed in the page as

    <cfoutput>#GetSubtotal.Subtotal#</cfoutput>

    :( Thanks in advance
