Answer:

$33

Explanation:

Given: Addy had 20% off coupon.

The coupon took $8.25 off of the shirt price.

Lets assume the original cost of shirt be "x".

We know Addy had 20% off coupon, which help to reduce the price of shirt by $8.25.

∴ We can form an equation to know the original price of shirt.

⇒
$(20)/(100) * x= \$ 8.25$

⇒
$(1)/(5) * x= \$ 8.25$

Multiplying both side by 5

⇒
x= 8.25* 5

∴
$x= \$ 41.25$

Hence, The original cost price of shirt was $41.25.

Next, finding the price paid by Addy for her new shirt by reducing coupon discount from the cost of shirt.

Price paid by Addy for her new shirt=
$\$ 41.25- \$ 8.25= \$ 33$

Hence, Addy paid $33 for her new shirt.
