Anna sells computer software and makes a salary of $50,000 annually plus 6.5% commission on total sales. If Anna sells $3 million in computer software this year, how much does she make?

To calculate how much Anna makes in total, we'll consider both her salary and the commission she earns from her sales.

1. **Annual Salary**: Anna earns a fixed salary of $50,000 annually.
2. **Commission**: Anna earns a 6.5% commission on her total sales. If her sales are $3,000,000, her commission would be calculated as:

\[
\text{Commission} = 0.065 \times 3,000,000 = 195,000
\]

3. **Total Earnings**: Her total earnings would be the sum of her salary and the commission:

\[
\text{Total Earnings} = \text{Salary} + \text{Commission} = 50,000 + 195,000 = 245,000
\]

So, Anna makes **$245,000** in total this year.
