I was wondering how to use parseFloat with a string?. Example:
var N = 3.43;
var M = 43.37;
var subtotal = N + M;
subtotal=parseFloat("subtotal");

You don't need parseFloat in your case.
To use parseFloat on a variable:
subtotal = parseFloat(subtotal); // No quotes here
Example:
var value = "3.14"; // String
var PI = parseFloat(value); // Float
OR
var PI = Number(value); // Float
OR
var PI = +value; // Float

For your example, I would not use
parseFloat, but rather Number or even + : var value = "3.14"; var valueAsNumber = Number(value); var valueAsNumber2 = +value; Since parseFloat is much less performant. I would keep it to parse "33.333%", thoughRemove the quotes that you are passing inside parsefloat.
var N = 3.43;
var M = 43.37;
var subtotal = N + M;
subtotal=parseFloat(subtotal);
