To find out how much Victoria charged her friend for one pair of jeans, we can start by determining the cost of one pair of jeans.
Victoria bought 4 jeans for $450. The cost of one pair of jeans is:
\[
\text{Cost per pair} = \frac{450}{4} = 112.50
\]
When she sells one pair of jeans, she gets back 25% of the cost of that pair. We calculate 25% of $112.50:
\[
\text{25% of } 112.50 = 0.25 \times 112.50 = 28.125
\]
Now, to find out how much she charged her friend, she must have charged the price plus the amount she got back, which is indeed just 112.50.
However, we need to find what she sold it for. Since it is implied that she sold it for also the complete amount the pair costs to her, the correct answer she charged her friend is:
\[
\text{Amount charged} = 112.50
\]
Thus the closest and most appropriate pricing among the options (given the possible misunderstanding in what "25% back" might indicate) is:
\[
\text{Final Answer: } 112.50.
\]
If you're looking for how much she could have charged including additional, we see here the only valid comparison for a markup is also in your available options, unify the number back strictly via her initial sell.
Since none of the options align strictly with $112.50, and thus, charge interpretations, the logical representative for the options must reflect based on market markup standards.
In conclusion: **$112.50 is the charge before any potential price lifts that might have crossed her friend's mind to bear.**
