Answer: He started with 250 t-shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of shirts he start with be 'x'.

He has only 10% of the t-shirts.

Number of t-shirts he has now = 25

According to question, it becomes,

[tex]\frac{10}{100}\times x=25\\\\0.1\times x=25\\\\x=\frac{25}{0.1}\\\\x=250[/tex]

Hence, he started with 250 t-shirts.

Thus, Second option is correct.
