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.
It is so great your boss will give you commissions for selling specials to the costumer at your table.
