There's an RPM cheat sheet here:

But in summary you probably want to upgrade

Math in shell
You can use bc, python, expr etc. to do math in the shell.
Note expr can only parse and output integers.
precision=2 num1=1.23; num2=3.21
answer=`echo "scale=${precision}; $num2/$num1" | bc`
answer=`echo "print '%.${precision}f' % ($num2/$num1)" | python`
answer=`expr 1 / 2`
