maram is a real estate agent. she earns 6.5% commission on each sale she makes. last month she sold one house for $250,000 and another for $310,000. what did maram earn in commissions for the month?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total sales value

$\$250,000 + \$310,000 = \$560,000$

Step2: Convert commission rate to decimal

$6.5\% = \frac{6.5}{100} = 0.065$

Step3: Compute total commission

$\$560,000 \times 0.065 = \$36,400$

Answer:

$\$36,400$
