    y=4.5x+40

    16 pairs of shoes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the target earnings be represented by y and the number of pairs of shoes that Roger sells be x hence

    y=4.5x+40

    The equation is therefore, y=4.5x+40.

    To solve this equation, substitute the value of y with 112 hence

    112=4.5x+40

    4.5x=112-40=72

    x=72/4.5=16

    Therefore, Roger should sell 16 pairs of shoes to achieve his target earnings of $112
