A shirt is on sale now for $20. Starting today, a morning sales clerk decreases the price by 30%, and then an afternoon sales clerk

increases the priced by 20%. This pattern continues for several days. Provided the shirt is never purchased, on which day is the shirt
marked down to about 75% off the price it is now?
