C. $400,000

Profit ratio to sales was25% hence margin to markup since we have cost of sales value of $300,000. The ratio for gross profit will be0.333 thus25/75 multiply by $300,000 will be $99,999.99 approximately $100,000. Hence total sales figure for us to get profit of25% margin ($100,000) is $400,000 ($300,000 + $100,000).

Note margin to mark up we deduct the margin percentage given from the denominator of100% and mark up to margin we add.
