Answer: Subtract 0.03.

Explanation:

given data:

Cost of T-shirt one = $24.97.

cost of T-shirt two = $13.75.

peyton rounded the cost of the first T-shirt up to $25 ( by adding $0.03 ). The addeded the cost of the second shift to arrive at a total cost of $38.75 for both.

to find the exact amount of the two shirts, peyton needs to subtract 0.03 from the total amount.

= $38.75 – 0.03

= $38.72

The original amount of both T-shirt is $38.72.
