Answer:
Each pair of shoes cost 26$
Step-by-step explanation:
find the total cost for shirts
2 shirts * 12$ each
2 * 12 = 24
they spent 24$ on shirts
create an equation
24$ shirts + x$ shoes = 76$
24 + x = 76
subtract 24 from both sides of the equation
24 + x - 24 = 76 - 24
x = 76 - 24
x = 52
they bought 2 pairs of shoes that cost the same amount
52 = x + x
52 = 2x
divide both sides of the equation
52/2 = 2x/2
52/2 = x
26 = x
each pair of shoes cost 26$
