Default How do I concatenate two currency cells to show a price range?

I tried it and I only get an general error message which highlights the
whole formula. Thanks

I have one median price, which I would like to change to a range (from
90% to 110% of original value).

Example: Cell A1 is formatted for currency and has a value of 3.50
(symbol set to none)
Cell A2 should be a dollar value range, from 90% to 110% of the value
of A1. The formula I have been using in A2 is this:

=CONCATENATE ("$",A1*.9, "-", "$",A1*1.1)

It works somewhat, but drops 0's and doesn't pay attention to digits.
When I try to format A2 to currency, it doesn't change.

For example, if A1 = 3.75, A2 = $3.375 - $4.125
if A1 = 4.00, A2 = $3.6 - $4.4

Does anybody know how to make cell A2 say "$3.38 - 4.13" or "$3.60 -
$4.40" instead?

Thanks in advance
