Working on business math. Please tell me how you got your answer.

As a percentage of the sticker price, the dealer profit would be worked out by ($1,275 / $16,230)*100 = 7.85582% (or 7.86% to 2 decimal places)

Assuming however that your confusion and the multiple choices are your own workings out rather than specified options, I would point out the following:
Dealer Profit is $1,275 of this *Sticker Price* (No dealer adds his/her profit margin on top of the advertised price after all). Therefore, to work out the profit margin, you first need to work out the actual cost of the car:

Sticker Price - Dealer Profit = Cost of Car
$16,230 - $1,275 = $14,995

The Profit Margin would therefore be ($1,275 / $14,995)*100 = 8.50283% (or 8.50% to 2 decimal places).
