C. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of stereos.

We have been given that a salesman sold each stereo for $1500. He earned a commission of 16.5% on each stereo sold.

The amount of commission earned on each stereo would be 16.5% of 1500.

The amount of commission earned on x stereos would be .

We are told his base salary is $33,170, so total salary of salesman would be .

We are also given that last year he earned $37,625. We can represent this information in an equation as:

Therefore, the salesman sold 18 stereos last year.

both equations and proportions are better.
