Note that function calls are valid without parentheses if a single table/string literal argument is passed. Lua thinks you are trying to call price; a number value.

Here is your revised script using better practices.

local client = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local cps = client.CPS
local price = cps.Value*100

cps.Changed:Connect(function(new_cps)
    script.Parent.Text = string.format("%d Cash Per Second (%d)", new_cps, price)
end)

string.format in this case would plug in the numbers where the "%d" format specifiers are. And this code only executes when the CPS value changes because that is when this code should be executing. Not arbitrarily every 1/10th of a second.
