    The original price is $25

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the original price

    If the shirt was sold on a 20% discount. Then the sale price is 80/100x

    The original price was five dollars more than the sale price.

    To put this in an equation

    X = 5 + 80/100x

    X-0.8X = 5

    0.2x = 5

    X = 5/0.2

    X = $25
