You calculate the markup or markdown in absolute terms (you find by how much the quantity changed), and then you calculate the percent change relative to the original value. So they're really just another form of "increase - decrease" exercises.
Example:
A computer software retailer used a markup rate of 40%. Find the selling price of a computer game that cost the retailer $25.
The markup is 40% of the $25 cost, so the markup is:
(0.40)(25) = 10
Then the selling price, being the cost plus markup, is:
25 + 10 = 35
The item sold for $35.

Step-by-step explanation:
Howdy, did you do a, b, and c by yourself? Because there are some slight issues, so I'll do my best to explain.
a. 3x+5x
We know that x=2, so we can substitute 2 in for x right now, or we can combine like terms.
3x and 5x both have the variable x so we can add them easily to get 8x. If you substitute in 2, you're just multiplying 8×2, which is 16.
b. 5z+4z+z
Again, since
we know that z=-3, we can substitute in now, or we can combine like terms first. 5z, 4z, and z all have the variable x, we addition is easy. 5+4+1=10, so you'll have 10z. Substitute in -3 for z, and you're just multiplying 10×-3=-30
c. 3x+6+5x
This is trickier since 6 doesn't have the variable x. So to combine like terms means to only add 3x and 5x. So the equation will turn out looming like 8x+6. now substitute in 2 for x and you get
8(2)+6
16+6
22
d. 8y+8-4y
Combine like terms
4y+8
substitute in 5 for y
4(5)+8
20+8
28
e. 5z-4z+z
combine like terms
z+z
2z
substitute -3 for z
2(-3)
-6
f. 3x+6+5x-2
combine like terms
(so that's 3x+5x and 6-2)
8x+4
substitute in 2 for x
8(2)+4
16+4
20
g. 8y+8-4y-3
combine like terms
8y-4y+8-3
4y+5
substitute in 5 for y
4(5)+5
20+5
25
h. 5z-4z+z-3z
combine like terms
-z
substitute in -3 for z
-(-3)
double negatives make a positive

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
DE = LK {given that length of DE & LK are equal}
EF = JK {given that length of EF & JK are 8 cm}
DF = LJ { given}
ΔDEF ≅ ΔLKJ by SSS congruent
