There are three ways.
1. Basically don't use decimals in your calculation, then using a String add the decimal point in the correct place. This works mostly with currency, but might work for you.
2. MathFP is a third part jar file that allows MIDP 1.0 to use Floats.
3. Use MIDP 2.0/CLDC 1.1 which now includes Floating points.
