    The answer to your question is:

    bag = $ 264 wallet = $132 belt = $ 66

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Equation

    2bags + 3 wallets + 4 belts = $1188

    Conditions

    1 bag = 2 wallets

    1 wallet = 2 belts (1/2) wallet = 1 belt

    Substitution in terms of wallets

    2 (2 wallets) + 3 wallets + 4 (1/2) wallet = $1188

    4 wallets + 3 wallets + 2 wallets = $1188

    9 wallets = $1188

    1 wallet = $1188 / 9

    1 wallet = $ 132

    1 bag = 2 (132) = $ 242

    1 belt = (1/2) 132 = $ 66
