Let's denote the cost of each shirt before the discount as "x".

If you buy 4 shirts, and $10 is taken off the total cost, then the equation can be set up as:

4x - $10 = $54

Simplifying the equation:

4x = $54 + $10

4x = $64

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = $16

Therefore, each shirt was originally priced at $16 before the discount.
