Total cost of the shirt from

eBay is the price of the shirt plus the shipping:

19.99 + 1.50 = $21.49

Find the cost difference:

50 - 21.49 = $28.51

Divide the cost difference by original price:

28.51/50 = 0.5702

Multiply by 100 to get percent:

0.5702 x 100 = 57.02%

Answer: 57.02% ( you can probably round the answer to 57%)
