To find the cost of the shirt after a 20% markdown, you need to calculate 80% of the original price (because if you subtract 20% from the total price, 100% - 20% = 80%).
If the original price of the shirt is represented by \( x \), then the cost of the shirt after a 20% markdown is:
\[
0.80x
\]
Thus, the correct answer is **b) 0.80x**.
