Answer:

175%

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the price increase (markup).  To do this, subtract $8 from $22.  The result is $14.  Thus, the store sells $8 basketballs for $22, a markup of $14 per ball.

The desired fraction of increase is 14/8, which, as a decimal, comes to 1.75.

Thus, the markup is 175% (after multiplying 1.75 by 100%)
