Okie dokie, so we have the formula 

cost after discount = (2 × list price) – (list price × discount percentage

We are trying to find the cost after discount. Can you tell me what is the list price and discount percentage? 

The list price is the original amount of the shirt, and the discount percentage is how much you get off the second shirt

they both cost 29$ each and the second shirt is 40% off

Good, so we have

cost after discount = (2 x 29) - (29 x 40%)

cost after discount = (2 x 29) - (29 x 0.4%)

First multiply.. What is 2 x 29?
