Answer:

.85 times the cost to make the shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost to make the shirt.

Today, the shirt is in a 15 percent discount from its normal price.

Discount = 15/100 * x = 0.15x

Current cost = Original cost - discount

Current cost = x - 0.15x = 0.85x

The answer is;

.85 times the cost to make the shirt
