The price of pair of jeans at a store increased by 25% to 40% find the pice of the pair of jeans before the increase

Answer 1

Let's assume the price of the pair of jeans before the increase is represented by x.

When the price increased by 25%, the new price becomes x + 0.25x = 1.25x.

When the price increased by 40%, the new price becomes x + 0.40x = 1.40x.

Therefore, the price of the pair of jeans before the increase lies between 1.25x and 1.40x.
