How can I interpolate JSX with an expression in a string?

Try this (ES5):

<div className={'total total-' + obj.state}>...</div>

Or with ES6+

<div className={`total total-${obj.state}`}>...</div>

Remember that everything between { and } is just Javascript, so the expression is 'total total-' + obj.state which is then set as the class of the DOM node.
