You can use: if [ $(echo "$ROTATION == 90" | bc) -eq 1 ]

@jofel, the good practice is to make it on this way: if [ "$(echo "$ROTATION == 90" | bc)" -eq 1 ] :)

Since this is bash: if (( $(bc <<< "$ROTATION == 90") == 1 ))

@glennjackman, thank you for the idea. I personally prefer to use old sh syntax :) But you should use -eq 1 because == in bash is to compare strings
