Answer: Mark up percent = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost price of each T-shirt = $5.00

Amount required = $450

Total students = 75

Market price for each T-shirt to raise the required amount = (Amount required ) ÷ 75

= $450 ÷ 75

= $ 6

Mark up percent = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Market price - Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}\times100[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{6-5}{5}\times100\\\\=20\%[/tex]

Hence, Mark up percent = 20%
