To calculate the price of the shirt after the discount, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the discount amount:**
   \[
   \text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}
   \]
   Given:
   - Original Price = $60
   - Discount Percentage = 15%

   \[
   \text{Discount} = 60 \times \frac{15}{100} = 60 \times 0.15 = 9
   \]

2. **Subtract the discount from the original price:**
   \[
   \text{Final Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount}
   \]
   \[
   \text{Final Price} = 60 - 9 = 51
   \]

So, after the 15% discount, the shirt will cost **$51.00** before tax.
