Default Need mathematical help??

Always wondered what the parasitic drain is on my Crossfire so since I'm installing a new battery thought I would take reading. I have a volt-ohm meter that has an amp. port so here's what figures I found. My amp reading is 0.05 A. The manual for this meter shows that 1ma = 0.001 ma. It mentions that a typical drain is 100 ma which allows for the clock&radio memory. Is there a formula that would tell me what my 0.05 A reading translates into for a VOLT draw that my car is putting on the battery with the key off & all known draws other than parasitic draw are off, in other words doors closed ,no alarm set, auto lock feature subdued, etc.?? Thank you
