$39.325

I hope this helps

Answer 2

$39.33 (rounded to nearest cent)

Explanation:

Cost of shirt normally = $65

Cost of shirt for 3 days =
`(100-45)/(100)` × $65

=
`(55)/(100)` × $65

= $35.75

Cost of shirt on 4th day =
`(100+10)/(100)` × $35.75

=
`(110)/(100)` × $35.75

= $39.33 (rounded to nearest cent)
