Tests:

Native
var a = 57005; var b = 42; var c = 1.55; ((((a + b) * b) / 5) * c).toString(); // "742751.9400000001"
Native + toFixed
var a = 57005; var b = 42; var c = 1.55; ((((a + b) * b) / 5) * c).toFixed(9); // "742751.940000000"
decimal.js
var a = new Decimal("57005"); var b = new Decimal("42"); var c = 1.55; a.plus(b).times(b).dividedBy(5).times(c).toString(); // "742751.94"
big.js
var a = new Big("57005"); var b = new Big("42"); var c = 1.55; a.plus(b).mul(b).div(5).mul(c).toString(); // "742751.94"
bignumber.js
var a = new BigNumber("57005"); var b = new BigNumber("42"); var c = 1.55; a.plus(b).multipliedBy(b).dividedBy(5).multipliedBy(c).toString(); // "742751.94"
bn.js
var a = new BN("57005"); var b = new BN("42"); var c = 1.55; a.add(b).mul(b).divn(5).muln(c).toString(); // "742750" the divn(5) affects the precision
bn.js in-place
var a = new BN("57005"); var b = new BN("42"); var c = 1.55; a.iadd(b).imul(b).idivn(5).imuln(c).toString(); // "742750" the idivn(5) affects the precision
