A geometric sequence is one that involves addition or subtraction. One example would be "In an auditorium, the 1st row has 25 seats. The 2nd has 30. The 3rd has 35. How many does the 4th have? Take the formula, x + 5. All you do is simply add 5.
An arithmetic sequence is one that involves multiplication or division. For example, "Jon receives 5 dollars each week. If he waits for 5 months, how much money will he have? Honestly, all you have to do is think about the formula. x * 5. x would be the number of weeks.
I know my answer is not as good as the verified one, but it is simpler and easier to understand. I apologize if it isn't good enough.

<u>Percentage Calculations</u>
Relative quantities are usually expressed as percentages (%). We say x percent of y is the proportion xy/100. When discounts or surcharges are applied, they are subtracted or added to the original quantity.
The question explains I receive a 10% discount off the original selling price if the total cost plus shipping is greater than $35. Let's assume the total cost plus shipping is $50. Since it's greater than $35, it qualifies for a discount. The discount is 10% of $50 = (10)(50)/100= $5. So the new total cost will be $50 - $5 = $45
Let's suppose now the total cost+shipping is $30. Since it's not greater than $35, no discount will be applied and we have to pay $30
