Let the previous price of the shirt be x.
According to the problem, the price of the shirt was reduced by 15%, which can be written mathematically as:
x - 0.15x = 0.85x
Also, it is given that the reduction in the price of the shirt was Tk 21. So we can write:
0.85x = x - 21
Simplifying this equation, we get:
0.15x = 21
Dividing both sides by 0.15, we get:
x = 140
Therefore, the previous price of the shirt was Tk 140
