Let's bear in mind that 5 gallons with a solution of 6% bleach, contains some water plus some bleach, how much bleach? well, is just 6% of 5 gallons or namely (6/100) * 5 gallons, or 0.30 gallons.
if we use "x" gallons of water, well pure water has no bleach, so is 0% bleach, and it has a (0/100) * x or 0x gallons of bleach.
the mixture will be say "y" gallons, and is 4% bleach, so (4/100) * y is 0.04y gallons in the mixture of bleach.

Since we know that 1/4 is equal to 25%, or 0.25 in decimal form, we are able to work with 0.75 in the expression.
We are told to use j as the original price of the jeans, so we can set up the expression:
to represent the cost of the jeans with the discount.
Then to simplify, we simply take out j as a common factor, and solve what's in the parentheses:
or
Using this equation, we can solve for the b part of the question. If the pair of jeans originally costs $60, plug in 60 to where j is in the expression:
Therefore, the cost of the jeans after the discount is C) $45.
