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
