A department store buys 500 shirts at a cost of $12,000 and sells them at a selling price of $30 each. Find the percent markup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

number of shirts= 500

cost of all the shirts= $12000

unit cost of shirt= 12000/500

                          =$24

the selling price = $30

the profit per shirt= selling price-cost price

30-24=$6

Required

% mark up

% mark up=( profit/cost price)*100

% mark up=( 6/24)*100

% mark up=0.25*100

% mark up=25%

Hence the % mark up is 25%

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
