Hi Hareesh,

First question I have is why are you getting the body  as URL Parameters? URL Parameters are not JSON.  I think thats not a best practice to send the data in URL Parameters in the first place, and if you use Body thats when you can send it as JSON. 

In the JSON, you can send decimal as decimal, without quotes something like 

{
"totalPrice":110000.00,
"totalQuantity":1000,
....
}

You can easily deserialize the JSOn with all the wide variety of method available in Salesforce. And you wouldnt have any issue.
