Exercise 21

You are the catering manager for the Imperial Palace Hotel. Last Saturday your staff catered a wedding reception in the main ballroom, during which 152 chicken dinners, 133 steak dinners, and 95 fish dinners were served. All dinners are the same price. The hotel charges "per person" for catered events.
a. What percent of the total meals served was each type of dinner?
b. If $13,300 was charged for all the meals, how much revenue did each type produce?
c. If a 20% price increase goes into effect next month, what will be the new price per meal?
d. When photographers, florists, DJs, bands, and other outside vendors are booked through your office for events at the hotel, a
% "finder's fee" is charged. Last year $175,000 of such services were booked. How much did the hotel make on this service?
e. If your boss is expecting $11,000 in "finder's fee" revenue next year, what amount of these services must be booked?
