Answer:

  25%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage change is calculated using the formula ...

  pct change = ((new value) - (old value))/(old value) × 100%

For your numbers, this is ...

  pct change = (250 -200)/200 × 100% = 50/200×100% = 25%

The selling price was 25% more than the cost price.
