@felicia00 the error is pretty clear. The first parameter that you are passing to the number_format function is String.. ie "SOME TEXT" while it needs to be a number, like 1.0 or "1.0".

I think this one is the problem:

number_format(number_format($dtl->claimed_price,2,'.','') - number_format($dtl->value,2,'.',''),2,'.','');

You don't need to format numbers that are already formatted.

@felicia00 firstly I don't think you need to do number formatting as you are adding up, but also I wouldn't do this loop in your blade at all.

Do processing in your controller and then pass in the data into your blade afterwards to render the results.
