To determine how much the company donated to the charity, we start by calculating how many $10.00 units are included in the total donations by the employees of $12,240.00.
1. Calculate the number of $10.00 units in $12,240.00:
\[
\text{Number of units} = \frac{12,240.00}{10.00} = 1,224
\]
2. The company donates $0.05 for each $10.00 unit donated by employees. Therefore, we multiply the number of units by $0.05:
\[
\text{Company Donation} = 1,224 \times 0.05 = 61.20
\]
So, the company gave **$61.20** to the charity.
The correct answer is **A. $61.20**.
