At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Let price in June = x
Price in May\(= \frac{2x}{3}\)
Price in July \(= \frac{2x}{3} * \frac{125}{100}\)
Avg price of May & July \(= \frac{\frac{2x}{3} + \frac{2x}{3} * \frac{125}{100}}{2}\)
\(= \frac{75x}{100}\)
x is greater than \(\frac{75x}{100}by \frac{25x}{100}\)
In terms of percentage, it will be
\(\frac{100 * x}{\frac{75x}{100}}\)
Answer = 133.33% = D

I have one question - In the month of July I have considered the following
July = [2][/3]X[*][25[/100] =[1[/6]X
Average = 15/18X
now to find out the X value = X/[15[/18]x = 120% My answer is C. please let me know how you got 125/100 in July and the next steps little more explicit. Thank you so much for your help.
