[GNC] Price in Register Account report not decimal

[Joe Normandeau]

Interestingly I opened the html report in Libreoffice Calc directly and 
it had the decimal not the fraction.  Didn't even need to put the "=" in 
front of it.  So thanks John for your suggestion. I'll use it as a work 
around. Bit of formatting to do but minor issue.

Should this be reported as a bug or just leave it as is.?

I don't think that there's an immediate solution for that other than to paste the report into a spreadsheet and stick an '=' in front of the price to make it a formula.
