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? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
First find the total cost of the SUV: $30,000 * 2 = $60,000. Then add the cost of the coupe to find the total cost of the cars: $60,000 + $30,000 = $90,000. Multiplying that amount by Melissa's commission rate, we find her earnings are $90,000 * 2% = $1800. So, the answer is 1800.
