4,8(77 marks)

Number of shirts a department store bought = 200

Cost price of 200 shirts = $5400

Cost price of 1 shirt :

=\tt  \frac{5400}{200}

\color{plum} =\tt \$27

Thus, the cost price of one shirt = $27

Price at which the department store sold each shirt = $30

Which means :

▪︎Cost price of shirt = $27

▪︎Selling price of shrit = $30

Since selling price is greater than cost price, there was a markup in the price of the shirts.

We know that :

\color{hotpink}\tt \: markup \: percentage = \color{plum}  \frac{selling \: price - cost \: price}{cost \: price }  \times 100

Markup percentage in the price of the shirts :

=  \tt \frac{30 - 27}{27}  \times 100

=  \tt \frac{3}{27}  \times 100

= \tt  \frac{3 \times 100}{27}

= \tt  \frac{300}{27}

\color{plum} =  \tt11.1  \%

Thus, the percentage of markup = \tt 11.1  \%

Therefore, the percentage of markup in the shirt's price = \color{hotpink} \tt11.1  \%
