Total cost of shoes and a tie was $69.85. If the shoes was $2.95 less than the tie, what was the price of the shoes?

Cost of shoes is $33.45 and cost of tie is $36.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of shoes be x and cost of tie be y.

x+y = 69.85

x = y-2.95

plugging it in the equation,

x+y = 69.85

or, y-2.95+y = 69.85

or, 2y =69.85+2.95

or, 2y = 72.8

so, y = 36.4

Now,

x = y-2.95

or, x = 36.4 - 2.95

so, x = 33.45
