string help in asp.net

I've got 3 sets of radio buttons on an asp.net page and need to parse out the string that is returned when a user makes a selection.

8700 $199.99 12
7105 $99.99 12
7290 $49.99 12

The value for each looks like: 8700199.9912
-------------------------------------------------

code:
string modelpricemonth;
string variableModel; // = 8700
string variablePrice; // = 199.99
string variableMonth; // = 12

modelpricemonth = ModelType.SelectedItem.Value;
LabelSummary.Text = modelpricemonth; //8700199.9912

LabelModel.text = variableModel;
LabelPrice.text = "$" + variablePrice;
LabelMonths.text = variableMonth;
-----------------------------------------------------

How do I get this result?

LabelModel.Text = 8700
LabelPrice.Text = $199.99
LabelMonths.Text = 12

thanks

Will the model ALWAYS be four digits?

Will there ALWAYS be two digits after the decimal place?

You could also do...

string modelpricemonth = "8700199.9912";
int period = modelpricemonth.IndexOf(".");
string variableModel = modelpricemonth.Substring(0,4);
string variablePrice = modelpricemonth.Substring(4, period - 4 + 3);
string variableMonth = modelpricemonth.Substring(period + 3);
