    Bianca sold $110,000 worth of stocks

    which mean = 100,000 + 10,000

    For 0.03 on any stock sale up to $100,000

    And 0.05 for any amount over the $100,000

    ∴ She made selling the stocks = 100,000 * 0.03 + 10,000 * 0.05

    = 3000 + 500

    = 3500

    So, the right answer is option D
