Answer:

  25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for one shirt is ...

  $3200/(400 shirts) = $8/shirt

The equation for markup is ...

  selling price = cost(1 +markup fraction)

Solving for the markup, we find ...

  markup fraction = (selling price)/cost -1

  = 10/8 -1 = 2/8 = 1/4 = 25%

The markup is 25%.
