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.
