Hi there! The answer is A. $750

The salesperson sold the car for 30% (so multiply by 1.3) more than $10,000, which is

10000 * 1.3 = 13000

Now we can see the difference between the auction and dealership price, which is $3,000

Of this $3,000 the salesperson got a commission of 25%. Therefore we must multiply the preceding outcome by 0.25

3000 * 0.25 = 750

Hence, the salesperson's commission is $750
