To calculate the amount Ted earned after the donation last year, we need to subtract the donation amount from his salary.
Donation amount = (125/100) * $42,000 = $52,500
Ted's salary after donation = $42,000 - $52,500 = -$10,500
Since it is not possible to have a negative salary, the correct answer is none of the given options.
