Solution

Mark started 50 feet below the cave entrance. When he descends 15 feet, he is now 50 + 15 = 65 feet below the cave entrance. Then, when he ascends 10 feet, he is now 65 - 10 = 55 feet below the cave entrance. So, Mark's new position relative to the cave entrance is 55 feet below the cave entrance.
