Nix Add On: How to convert numerical values

We are using the *NIX add-on that is using the TOP.sh script to pull Memory per process.

The data logged appears to just be a string "208m" or "9990" or "2.1g".

Splunk doesn't appear to understand it is a numerical value.

I want to perform mathematical calculations on this data.

Is there a function to convert this to a numerical value or do I need to strip the suffix and multiply the result by the suffix value?
