This is an excerpt from an Answer Explanation in Wiley:

“These expenses (Medical), which total $3,150, are deductible to the extent they exceed 10% of adjusted gross income, and result in a deduction of $150 ($3,150-$3,000).

Why is 10% applied instead of 7.5%? Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Law keeps changing about the medical expenses. Currently, you can deduct medical expenses that exceed 10% of AGI if you’re itemizing. So, Wiley is correct. Perhaps, the 7.5% is from a book of an older version?

7.5% for 2017 & 2018. 10% for 2019

AUD 7/3
BCE 81
REG 7/15
FAR 8/18

If you are using a 2019 Wiley book that didn't get updated for July 2019, then it would have 7.5%.
