Ok as stated in the text

"Samantha trades through a broker."

"Samantha purchased stock worth $2,500"

"Sold her stock in another company for $2,750."

"The broker charges $10 per trade."

So Samantha trades through a broker,she bought a stock and sold a stock.The broker charges 10 dollars (Per) trade.

As you can see she did (Two) trades "Samantha purchased stock worth $2,500" and "Sold her stock in another company for $2,750"

So since she did a trade (Two) times and the broker charges (10 dollars) per trade multiply ten by two.

$$10\times2=20$$

So Samantha paid the broker a 20 dollar fee.
