Accepted Solution

A:
What you must keep in mind is that there are 4 jeans in total, which represents 100%
 When she bought two jeans, we have the following information:
 If both of them are blue:
 50% of their jeans is blue now, that is:
 x = (50/100) * 4 = 2
 2 jeans are blue.
 This means that she did NOT have 2 blue jeans before.
 Thus:
 If they are not blue: 
 We have 4 jeans that are not blue.
 Then, 0% of her jeans is blue now
 answer:
 0% percentage of her jeans is blue now
