You'll need to either change the Datatype from Currency to Formula(Currency) and use a formula like this:

Price__c * Qua__c

 Or if you're on EE or UE you could use a Workflow Rule and use the same formula to update your Currency field.

Hi Karthik,

 

  The following steps will helpful to you,

Step-1 : Create a Numer field.

            Field label : Quanity , Field type : Number

 

Step-2 : Create a Currency field.

            Field label : Price, Field type : Currency

 

Step-3 : Create a Formula field and choose the retun type as a Currency.

            Field label : Total, Field type : Formula

then add the Price__c * Quantity__c into the formula.Now when you save the record with quantity and price value, you will get the total in currency value.

 

I hope this will helpful to you.
