OK. Let's say the first quantity field is called Qty1 and the first unit price field is called UnitPrice1.

As the custom calculation script of the first total price field enter the following:

var qty = Number(this.getField("Qty1").valueAsString);

var price = Number(this.getField("UnitPrice1").valueAsString);

event.value = Math.round(qty*price);

Be very careful. Money is much harder to work with than many people think, and accountants and others check for errors. Consider: 3 lines, each 4 @ $1.10. So each line is 4.40. You round each line to $4. The bill must be for $12.

Seems simple? Now take the grand total. It's 4.40 x 3, which is 13.20 so you round it to $13. So you send someone a bill for which adds up to $12, but charge them $13. This is likely to lead to bad discussions with accountants, tax authorities and others.
