If the cost of a shirt remains unchanged, an increase of 20% in the number of shirts sold should be accompanied by an increase of 20% in sales.
Since the actual increase in sales was only 14%,
Price of shirt on Saturday
= 114/120 × $30
= $28.50
Discount percentage
= 6/120 × 100%
= 5%

Price (new to old) = revenue (new to old) / qty (new to old) = 1.14/1.2 = 0.95. Hence, discount is 5% and new price is 0.95*30 = $28.50.
