A businessman has two meetings in a day. The first meeting has a 65% chance to make a sell, and he can get a profit of 15,000 pesos if successful. The second meeting has a 35% chance to make a sell, and he can get a profit of 35,000 pesos if successful. The appointment results are independent of each other. What is the expected profit based on the probability?
