Answer»

Let the total number of clothes = x

No of jeans $(= \;x \times \frac{{25}}{{100}} = \frac{1}{4}x)$

After selling 12% jeans, remaining jeans $(= \;\frac{1}{4}x - \frac{1}{4}x \times \frac{{12}}{{100}} = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{{3x}}{{100}} = \frac{{25X\; - \;3x}}{{100}} = \frac{{22x}}{{100}})$

Remaining jeans $(= \frac{{22x}}{{100}} = 44)$

⇒ 22x = 44 × 100

$(\Rightarrow {\RM{\;}}\frac{{44 \times 100}}{{22}} = 200)$

Number of Jeans $(= \;200 \times \frac{{25}}{{100}} = 50)$

Number of clothes other than jeans = 200 – 50 = 150
