Answer:

As per the given condition:

A new shirt costs $14.99.

If the shirt has a sale for [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] off its price.

Now, we find how much you save on this shirt:

First find the [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of $14.99

i.e,  

[tex]\frac{1}{5} \times \$14.99 = \frac{\$14.99}{5} =\$ 2.998[/tex]

You pay for the shirt is: $14.99 -$ 2.998 = $11.992

Therefore, you would save $2.998 or $ 3 in buying your new shirt.
