I am having a hard time figuring this out and really bad in math. Can someone explain this to me in simplest terms? I appreciate it.

1. Last season, a pair of jeans cost $42.95. This season, the price of the jeans increased by 25 percent. Later in the season, the jeans were put on sale for 25 percent off.

• First, take a guess. What do you think the sale price will be? Why?
• Then, calculate: How much did the jeans cost at the beginning of this season? What was their sale price?

2. Consider what the jeans would cost if they had gone on sale by 25% first, and then had their price increased by 25%.

• First, take a guess. What do you think the jeans will cost this time? Why?
• Then, calculate: How much will the jeans cost this time?
• Did you get the answer you were expecting? Why or why not?

3. Discuss the differences between (1) and (2). What did you learn or observed about the mathematics involved, as a result of your guesses and calculations?

Make sure all questions are completed including taking a guess on parts 1 and 2, calculations, and providing step by step information on how you came to your answers.
