  • Step-by-step explanation:

    always remember some basic principles when dealing with percentages :

    100% is the whole

    1% = 100%/100

    n% = n×1% = n×100%/100

    therefore, n% of an amount m is n/100 × m.

    like 25% = 25/100 × m = 0.25 × m

    so, now it should be very easy :

    the 25% discount of $80 is

    0.25×80

    the amount deducted by (= after) the discount is

    80 - 0.25×80

    which is actually 0.75×80

    a markup is added into the total cost incurred by the producer of a good or service in order to cover the costs of doing business and create a profit. so, a markup of 40% is simply again

    0.40×80

    and the sale price including (= after) the markup is then

    80 + 0.40×80
