Translate your __Ballpark__ to an expression.
> $$\displaystyle \frac{25}{100} \times \frac{50}{100} \times \$98{,}265 = \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2} \times \$98{,}265 = \frac{\$98{,}265}{8}$$
Then ballpark 98,265 as about 100,000.
> $$\displaystyle \frac{\$100{,}000}{8} = \$12{,}500$$
So the answer should be close to $12,500. Only one answer is particularly close, and that is B.
