Melissa sells a coupe for $30,000 and an SUV for twice as much. If her commission is 2%, how much money did she make from these sales?
First find the total cost of the SUV: $30,000 * 2 = $
<gadget id="calculator">30000*2</gadget>
<output>60_000</output>
60,000.
Then add the cost of the coupe to find the total cost of the cars: $60,000 + $30,000 = $
<gadget id="calculator">60000+30000</gadget>
<output>90_000</output>
90,000.
Multiplying that amount by Melissa's commission rate, we find her earnings are $90,000 * 2% = $
