Answer:
The number of pairs of sneakers sold by Jason is 16 pairs
Solution:
Given, Jason only sells pairs of sneakers and pairs of sandals as footwear store
Pairs of sneakers sell for $70 each and pairs of sandals sell for $40 each
Jason sold 40 pairs of footwear and sales total $2080
We need to find how many pairs of sneakers did he sell?
Now, let the number of sneaker pairs sold be n, then number of sandals pairs sold will be 40 – n.
According to the given information,
$70 x n + $40 x (40 – n) = $2080
70n + 1600 – 40n = 2080
(70 – 40)n = 2080 – 1600
30n = 480
3n = 48
n = 16.
Hence, the number of pairs of sneakers sold is 16 pairs
