A) is the answer $3000

Answer: A) $ 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, dealership purchased a four-door sedan for $15,000 and then sold it at 15% markup.

Thus, his profit in this sedan = 15 % of $15000 = [tex]\frac{15\times 15000}{100}[/tex] = $ 2250

And, The dealership paid the buyer $3000 for a trade-in, which was sold the following week at 25% markup.

Thus, his profit in this deal = 25 % of 3000 = [tex]\frac{25\times 3000}{100}[/tex] = $ 750

The dealership's profit on these two vehicles =  $ 2250 + $ 750 = $ 3000

Thus, Option A is correct.
