In this question, there are a few items with markup or markdown rate. Markup means that you need to increase the price, markdown means you need to decrease it.To order the item from most expensive to least expensive, it will be easier to count the item price 

Toaster $23.35 + 36% Markup=  $23.35 * (100%+36%)= $31.76
DVD $20.36 + 66% Markup = $20.36 *( 100%+ 66%)=$33.80
Headphones $69.09 + 56% Markdown = $69.09 * (100%-56%) =$30.40
Jeans $55.08 + 41% Markdown = $55.08 * (100%-41%)= $32.50

The list should be: d. DVD, jeans, toaster, headphones
DVD =               $33.80
Jeans =             $32.50
Toaster =           $31.76
Headphones = $30.40

The answer would be D! hope this helps.
