Sagot :

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use this formula to find percent of change:

(new value minus original value) divided by original value

(15 - 12) / 12 = 3/12 or 1/4, which is 25%

The percentage markup of the T-shirts =25%

Calculation of the percentage markup

The original cost of each T-shirt = $12

The cost it would be should at souvenir shop = $15

The markup prize = 15 – 12 = $3

The percentage of $3 of original cost of $12 =

3/12 × 100

= 300/12

= 25%

Therefore, the percentage markup of the T-shirts = 25%
