Answer:

Ok this is easy you got this!

Explanation:

Ok so, we know their over total is 98.00, we also know that the boots cost $34 each

lets start with 34+34= 68

now we are going to take that from 98

98-68=30

now because they bought two canteens we will divide 30 by 2

30 divided by 2 is 15

the cost of each canteen is $15
