Answer :

Let's analyze the transaction fee for a balance transfer step by step:

1. Identify the balance transfer amount: The customer is transferring a balance of [tex]$300. 2. Determine the balance transfer fee options: - Fixed fee: $[/tex]10
- Percentage fee: 3% of the transaction amount

3. Calculate the percentage fee:
- 3% of [tex]$300 is calculated as follows: \[ 0.03 \times 300 = 9 \] So, the percentage fee is $[/tex]9.

4. Compare the fixed fee and the percentage fee:
- Fixed fee: [tex]$10 - Percentage fee: $[/tex]9

5. Determine which fee is greater:
- The greater of the two fees is [tex]$10. Therefore, the transaction fee for transferring a balance of $[/tex]300 is [tex]$10. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \$[/tex]10
\]
