A. 25.13% more shoes

Explanation:

The company has annual revenue of $500,000 and it sells 5000 pair of shoes. The company wants to offer 10% discount to its customers on Black Friday Promotion. The revenue needs to be maintained. The current sales per shoes is $100 ($500,000 / 5,000 pairs of shoes). When the company offers promotion there is 10% discount in its selling price. The new selling price will be $90.

The revenue is to be maintained at $500,000 and the new pairs of shoes sold will be 5,555 pairs of shoes ($500,000 / $90 / pair of shoe)

The shoes sold in promotion are 25.13% more than the previously sold.
