her savings is the 25% amount... well, if we take 65 to be the 100%, how much is 25% of that?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 65&100\\ x&25 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{65}{x}=\cfrac{100}{25}[/tex]

solve for "x", that's her savings

the cost of the jeans is 65 - x
