15\x and 80\100
15 times 100=1500
1500=8x
then you divide 1500 by 80 so x is by itself
x=18.75

Answer:

Original price of the shirt was $18.75.

Explanation:

Let original price of the shirts is $x

Since the selling price of each shirt was 80% of the original price, the selling price will be = 80% of x

= (0.80)x

Since each shirt was sold for $15, the selling price will be represented by

(0.80)x = 15

x =
(15)/(0.80)

= $18.75

Therefore, the original price of the shirt was $18.75.
