Are you unable to call `toFixed`? I'm very vaguely familiar with EJS but I thought you can still use basic JS functionality like this. — VLAZ, Oct 07 '19 at 12:04

You can fix the decimal the value in the ejs expression as it interprets the Javascript code to show the output. You would need to parse it before as it can be passed as String to the template.

<p class="lead"><%=parseFloat(ticket.feedback.avgRating).toFixed(1)%></p>

You can make use of jquery to ready the current value and change it to one digit after decimal using toFixed

$(function(){
  var val = $('.lead').text();
  val = parseFloat(val).toFixed(1);
  $('.lead').text(val);
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p class="lead">4.3333333</p>

Use toFixed method : toFixed()

function financial(x) {
      return Number.parseFloat(x).toFixed(1);
    }

example :

financial(4.333333333) =====> 4.3
