Which belts need to be replaced in a car?

I have a '97 Nissan Altima with 104K miles on it. Which belts do I need to replace or check if worn out? Whats the cost to replace? Since its an old car, I just wanna spend on the critical items if possible. Thanks for reading my question. How do I know if my car has Timing belt or Timing chain?

1. basically the serpatine belt for the alternator and the water pump, and the timing belt.
2. At 100k there all critical. Save yourself some time and money and replace them all. good luck
3. You should replace both drive(accessory) belts. I believe 1 is an A/C belt and the other drives everything else. This engine does not have a timing belt so that is not a concern. It should cost between $100 - $130. Price depends on where you are located. Here on Long Island, my labor rate is $85/hr which is lower than probably any shop around. Most dealers are $105 -$125/hr. and independents fall between $95 - $110.
