what I am doing wrong in this template ```

• sensor:
  • name: Total energy cost per quarter
    unit_of_measurement: 'Pkr'
    device_class: monetary
    unique_id: 'Quarter_energy_cost'
    state: "{{ (states('sensor.lesco_quater_energy_offpeak') | float * (states('sensor.tariff_price') ) | round(2) }}"
    availability: >
    {{ states('sensor.lesco_quater_energy_offpeak') | is_number }}

misses a a ) after float

[radiant sundial]

You need to cast states('sensor.tariff_price') to a float
