Answer:

$34.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the price of the pair of shoes.

Let the price of the belt be $x, we know that the price of pair of shoes would be x-1.79

so adding;

x + x-1.79 = 71.57

2x = 71.57 + 1.79

2x = 73.36

x = 73.36/2

x = $36.68

The price of pair of shoes = x-1.79 = 36.68-1.79 = $34.89
