Answer 2

Salesman's commission 4% of total monthly sales.

Explanation:

A sneaker store salesman had $4,125 in total monthly sales last month.

He made $165 in commission from those sales.

Suppose, it is x% of the total sale.

So, x% of $4125 will be,

`=4125* (x)/(100)`

According to the question it is equal to $165, so

`\Rightarrow 4125* (x)/(100)=165`

`\Rightarrow x=(165* 100)/(4125)`

`\Rightarrow x=(16500)/(4125)`

`\Rightarrow x=4\%`

Therefore, salesman's commission 4% of total monthly sales.
