Answer 2

W = Total Cost of Food and Beverages she served.

Now what?

Answer 3

That is not a good enough answer. Are you SURE you are in the right class? Why are you studying this material? Does it seem reasonable to you to be assigned a problem with NO possibility that you could solve it?

Seriously, you MUST have SOME clue.

Can you write $2.63 * 5? There is the hourly wage. You write the part for the commission.

Answer 4

I just need an already solved answer example to understand better. That's all. Calm down.

Answer 5

and yes I was thinking of $2.63*5

Answer 6

There is no down to calm. There are far better answers than "no clue". It's just a horrible state.

If you were thinking that, why did you say, "no clue". That was a wrong thing to say. You DID have a clue!!

Okay, we have the hourly wage. What about the commission? Use my "W" definition.

Answer 7

if you clearly have a problem with me. you probably shouldn't even bother to help. you don't talk to people like that.

Answer 8

I don't have a problem at all. I'm just being honest. You had a clue and I told you that you should have a clue. Sounds like I'm the one with the encouraging words. You should get some of your own.

Hourly Wage: $2.63 * 5
Commission: W * 0.15

How do we get $400 out of that?
