The code below is working great all except for the calculation to figure the commission. If on the html form you select 5%, 6%, 7%, it should loop through listing all the values or whatever values selected and calculate the commission (example: 5% * $1000.00 = $50.00). Like I said, everything is working except for the result of the calculation. 
#! /perl/bin/perl
#c04ex6.cgi - calculates the total price of widgets purchased
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

#prevent Perl from creating undeclared variables
use strict;

#declare variables
my ($salesperson, $sales, $k, $commission, $percentage, $newrates);
my %rates2 = ("0", .05,
              "1", .06,
              "2", .07);
my @rates = param('Rate');

#assign values to variables
$salesperson = param('Salesperson');
$sales = sprintf "\$%.2f", param('Sales');

#calculate total ordered and total sale


#create Web page
print <<here;

<html>
<head>
<title>Patton Industries</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Bonus Calculation</h2>
<br>
<strong>Sales Person:</strong> $salesperson<br>
<strong>Sales:</strong> $sales<br>
here

foreach $k(@rates) {
$newrates = ($rates2{$k}) * 100;
$commission = ($sales * ($rates2{$k}));
       printf "<strong>Using a rate of </strong>%.1f%%, \n", $newrates
+;
       print "<strong>your bonus is </strong>$commission<br>\n";
}

print "</body>\n";
print "</html>\n";

Result code should look like this: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Patton Industries</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Bonus Calculation</h2>
<br>
<strong>Sales Person:</strong> John Doe<br>
<strong>Sales:</strong> $1000.00<br>
<strong>Using a rate of </strong>5.0%, 
<strong>your bonus is $50.00</strong>0<br>
<strong>Using a rate of </strong>6.0%, 
<strong>your bonus is $60.00</strong>0<br>
<strong>Using a rate of </strong>7.0%, 
<strong>your bonus is $70.00</strong>0<br>
</body>
</html>
