Let the original price of the shirt be \( x \). According to the problem, the shirt was discounted by $15, which means the selling price after the discount is:
\[
x - 15 = 42
\]
To find the original price, add $15 to both sides of the equation:
\[
x = 42 + 15
\]
\[
x = 57
\]
Thus, the original price of the shirt is **$57**.
\[
x - 15 = 42
\]
To find the original price, add $15 to both sides of the equation:
\[
x = 42 + 15
\]
\[
x = 57
\]
Thus, the original price of the shirt is **$57**.
