    B. 130 70

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Agent B sold the highest number (53.85%) of houses given the number of listed houses.

    Find the percentage of houses each agent sold.

    For A

    x/100 * 150 = 75

    cross multiply and find x, that would be 50%

    For B

    x/100 * 130 = 70

    cross multiply and find x, that would be 53.85%

    for C

    x/100 * 145 = 75

    cross multiply and find x, that would be 51.72%
