Hello!

Data:

*salesperson A


(11)/(100) *67530 = 0,11*67530 = \boxed{7428,3}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

**salesperson B


(8)/(100) *85740 = 0,08*85740= \boxed{6859,2}

Answer:

salesperson A made more commission

it would be (A) because if you do the math 11% out of 76,500 would be $7,428 and (B) made less because 8 % of 85,740 would be $6,859.
So the answer is (A).
