Real-Life Math -- Solution
Putting on a seminar in a good hotel with a catered lunch is not
cheap, as you soon find out!
Total for the seminar room, advertising
and lunch is:
$1,500 + $440 + $500 = $2,450
Taxes are
12 percent of this. That equals $294.
When you add in your fee of $1,300,
the total, including taxes is $4,044.
Then you divide that by the number
of people coming:
$4,044 / 60 = 67.40
With 60 participants,
the cost of the seminar will be $67.40.
"Math and technology are increasingly
important. As the delivery of messages moves online, those with technological
expertise will have an added advantage," says speaker Terry Paulson.
