Approximately 14.3%

To get the percentage profit per item (ignoring overhead such as rent, taxes, salary, etc--none of which are provided in the question), you divide the amount of profit, 6.00-5.25=0.75 by the cost (in this case the price you bought for to get:

percent profit=0.75/5.25=1/7, or about 0.143=14.3%
