It is so great your boss will give you commissions for selling specials to the costumer at your table.
a) if you sell 3 lobster that are $15.20 each and 5 steaks that cost $14.50 each how much will you earn in commission round to the nearest hundredth
To calculate your commission, you need to find the total cost of the specials you sold and then multiply it by the commission rate. Let's assume your commission rate is 10%.
The cost of 3 lobsters at $15.20 each is:
3 x $15.20 = $45.60
The cost of 5 steaks at $14.50 each is:
5 x $14.50 = $72.50
The total cost of the specials you sold is:
$45.60 + $72.50 = $118.10
Your commission on this sale is:
10% x $118.10 = $11.81
Therefore, you will earn $11.81 in commission. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, your commission is $11.81.
