How to do a x5 sum with javascript

Well im trying to make a free kart system just to learn javascript and iv got most of it done other than the sums of like buying more than one of a item?
So how would i go about multiplying a item ?

You'd use the * operator (which is pretty much the same in any language)

Here's a list of operators: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_operators.asp

Note to Lew: The "language" attribute is deprecated, use "type" instead, eg. <script type="text/javascript">
