Sure! Let's break down the problem step-by-step.

1. Determine the original cost of the shirt:
The original cost of the shirt is [tex]$40. 2. Find the discount rate: The discount rate is 25%. 3. Calculate how much money the discount represents: To find the amount of the discount, we multiply the original price of the shirt by the discount rate: \[ \text{Discount Amount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 40 \times 0.25 = 10.0 \] Therefore, the discount amount is $[/tex]10.0.

4. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the new price:
To find the new price after the discount, we subtract the discount amount from the original price:

[tex]\[ \text{New Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount Amount} = 40 - 10.0 = 30.0 \][/tex]

Hence, the new price of the shirt is $30.0.

Answer: $30.0

Step-by-step explanation:

       To find the new price of the shirt, we will subtract the discounted amount from the original shirt cost. Keep in mind that 25% is equal to 0.25. In math, "of" will use multiplication, so 25% of $40 is 0.25*40.

   $40 - ($40 * 25%) = $40 - ($40 * 0.25) = $40 - ($10) = $30
