Avoiding apply to each loops with first() function

Hi,

 

I am trying to filter out the weight of certain products using a oData connector, I want to use the 'quantity' of this weight as input for a variable. I can target the specific quantity i need but Power automate automatically makes an 'Apply to each' loop. I want to avoid this so i use the 'first()' function, right now the expression in my 'Compose' is: 

 
first(outputs('Get_Weight')?['body/value'])
 

This works, but i don't get the output i need, it gives ' "quantity" : 7.5' as output,   but i need '7.5' as output so i can use it as a double and calculate with it

    Hi @Kryptic ,

     

    Please try:

    first(outputs('Get_Weight')?['body/value'])['quantity']
