Right-centered columns in tabular*
I'd like to right-center a column within a tabular* environment. See the following snippet:
begin{tabular*}{textwidth}{l @{extracolsep{fill}} llc}
hline
textbf{Art} & textbf{Stundensatz} & textbf{Gesamt} \
hline
Doing this & 1,5 à 100 Euro & 150,00 Euro \
hline
This & That & 3 à 100 Euro & 300,00 Euro \
hline
Even more stuff and corrections & 3,5 à 100 Euro & 350,00 Euro \
hline
Hearing & 1 à 100 Euro & 100,00 Euro \
hline

hline
Gesamt & & 1071,00 Euro \

In order to right align the second and third column, use r instead of l. In the following MWE, I have also removed the fourth column cpacifier (c) as you only need three columns. I have also added multicolumn{1}{c}{...} in order to center the column headers of the second and third column.
The second table in the MWE ise done using tabularx to make sure that long entries in the first column are automatically split into two or more lines so that the table's with does not exceed the textwidth. In this second table, I have also used rules from the booktabs package. These lines have some vertical white space above and below them.
