To calculate your commission, you need to first find the total cost of the food sold:
3 lobsters at $15.20 each = $45.60
5 steaks at $14.50 each = $72.50
Total cost = $45.60 + $72.50 = $118.10
Your commission is 15% of the total cost:
Commission = 0.15 x $118.10 = $17.72
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, your commission would be $17.72.
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 if you have 15% commission round to the nearest hundredth
