Is it possible to get the cart total price without any markup. So without the € symbol? Right now I’m getting the amount with:

$totalamount = $woocommerce->cart->get_cart_total();  

this will give €16.50

I tried this also:

$totalamount = number_format($woocommerce->cart->get_cart_total(), 2, '.', '');

But this always gives 0.00

Is there a woocommerce get function that will give a number format of the total cart price? Thanks!
