Answer:
$51.72 each
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways to go at this. Let's try this one:
Marcus paid a price that was 3/4 off the original, so was 1/4 of the original price. Then the original price was 4 times what Marcus paid:
29.79 × 4 = 119.16 . . . . . original price of 3 pants and 2 shirts
The original price of the pants was 5.24 each, so the 3 pairs originally cost ...
5.24 × 3 = 15.72
The two shirts then account for the difference between this amount and the original cost.
2s = 119.16 -15.72 = 103.44
s = 51.72
The shirts were originally $51.72 each.
