The cost of the red shirt is r.
The cost of the blue shirt is r + $2.50.
The total cost of the two shirts is r + r + $2.50 = $13.
Combining like terms, we get 2r + $2.50 = $13.
Subtracting $2.50 from both sides, we get 2r = $10.50.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get r = $5.25.
The cost of the red shirt is $5.25. Answer: \boxed{5.25}.
