    Answer: the original price of the shirt is 49

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the original price of the shirt.

    The clothing store is selling the shirt for a discounted price of $43.61. This is the current price of the shirt. If the discount is 11%, it means that the amount by which the original price dropped would be

    11/100 * x = 0.11 * x = 0.11x

    Therefore, original price - discount = current price. It becomes

    x - 0.11x = 43.61

    0.89x = 43.61

    x = 43.61/0.89 = 49
