    Let the cost of the shirt be y and the price by the which the shirt is sold is 2y.

    Now, let's calculate how much does 15% represent from the price of the shirt:

    15% discount = (15/100) x 2y = 0.3y

    Therefore, the shirt is sold for : 2y - 0.3y = 1.7y

    This means that at 15% discount, the shirt is sold at 1.7 of its original cost.
