Explanation / Answer

setup fee=150

total cost =150+2000=2150

then amount that book store pays for each shirt= 2150/100=$21.50

-----------------------------------

selling price of each shirt =25

then total price of 100 T-shirts=25*100=2500

as selling price is more than cost so Yes book store can produce the shirts.
