company A :
30,000 + 0.03(37499) = 31124.97...sales less then 37500
30,000 + 0.03(37501) = 31125.03....sales exceed 37500
30,000 + 0.03(249000) = 37470 ...sales less then 250000
30,000 + 0.03(251000) = 37530....sales exceed 250000
company B :
25,000 + 0.05(37499) = 26874.95...sales less then 37500
25,000 + 0.05(37501) = 26875.05...sales exceed 37500
25000 + 0.05(249000) = 37450...sales less then 250000
25,000 + 0.05(251000) = 37550...sales exceed 250000
so i believe your answer is option b,
company A pays better when sales are less then 250,000, but company B pays better when sales exceed 250,000 <==
