Solution

A dress sold at 10%% discount but
still profit is 12.5%
The marked price in tag is =1250 Rs.
selling price of dress =1250-125
[SP=1135 Rs]
Profit =12.5%
we know profit = $\frac{S P - C P}{C P} \times 100$
$12.5 = (\frac{s p}{c p} - 1) \times 100$
$1 + 0.125 = \frac{S P}{C P}$
$C P = \frac{1135}{1.125} = 1008.8 R s$
