A department store buys 500 shirts at a cost of $4000 and sells them at a selling price of $10 each. Find the percent markup.

9514 1404 393

  25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup is the difference between the selling price and the cost price.

  markup = (500)($10) - $4000 = $1000

Then the percent markup of the cost price is ...

  markup/(cost price) = $1000/$4000 × 100% = 25%

The percentage markup was 25%.

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)
