Return empty string in decimal function

I create a function to compare the price of my item. This is my function:

public static decimal ComparePrice(decimal Price, decimal WebsitePrice)
    {
        decimal ZERO_PRICE = 0.00000M;
        if(Price == ZERO_PRICE && WebsitePrice > ZERO_PRICE){
            return WebsitePrice;
        }else if(Price == ZERO_PRICE && WebsitePrice == ZERO_PRICE){
            return "";
        }else{
            return Price;
        }
    }

if the both(price and websiteprice) is equal 0.00, then it will return the empty string,

I know it is not possible to return the string while the function is set to decimal type,

but i have no idea what should I do about that. Anyone can help?

Thanks.

            return null;
