Answer 1

To find the price for both pairs of shoes at Walk Easy, we need to calculate the total cost after the discount is applied.

The total cost of both pairs of shoes at Walk Easy would be the cost of the first pair at $54.80 and 65% off the second pair at $86.60.

65% of $86.60 = 0.65 * 86.60 = $56.29

Total cost = $54.80 + $56.29 = $111.09

Therefore, the best answer is $111.09, which is closest to $111.00.
