If the discount is 25%, then $45 is 75% of the original price:
0.75x = 45
where x is the original price of the three shirts
Solve for x:
x = 45/0.75
x = 60
Since there are three shirts, we divide this by 3:
60/3 = 20
The answer is $20.

Let, the original price = x
x = 45 * 125 /100
x = 45 * 1.25
x = 56.25

So, your final answer is $56.25

Hope it helped
