Answer:

$35.7

Explanation:

you can convert 15% to a decimal by dividing by 100.

15/100 = .15

if you multiply the decimal by the cost of the shirt you get how much the discount is.

0.15 * $42 = 6.30

so a 15% discount on a $42 shirt is $6.30 off. So you subtract the discount from the total cost.

$42 - $6.30 = $35.70 that is the sale price of the shirt.
