Description:
This error ocurrs in wikipedias using comma as a decimal separator according to the wiki's default locale, like in catalan wikipedia.
Tthe formatnum magicword almost follows the wiki locale, but the parser function #expr: use the dot as a decimal separator. This differences results in erroneous calculus in some templates. There's a set of examples at;

You should use only English numbers without thousand separator (like 1000000.45) in #expr and formatnum without R.
To transform numbers from a local number ( like 1.000.000,45 ) to an English number without thousand separator, use {{formatnum: number |R}} (note the R):
{{formatnum: 1.000.000,45 |R}} => 1000000.45
Therefore, to multiply a local number with 10, and output a local number, you should use:
{{formatnum: {{#expr: {{formatnum: 5.199,75 | R }} * 10 }} }}
Output: 51.997,5
