Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the process outlined in the video transcript.

### Step 1: Determine the Cost Price (CP)
Let the cost price of the jeans be \( CP \).

Given that the shopkeeper marked the price of jeans 25% above the cost price, we can express the marked price (MP) as:
\[ MP = CP + 0.25 \times CP = 1.25 \times CP \]
