Solution

Marked price of the skirt = ₹ 1200
During normal season discount @ 25% $= \frac{25}{100} \times 1200 = 25 \times 12 = ₹ 300$

Price of the skirt after discount = ₹ 1200 - ₹ 300 = ₹ 900
In off season, the shopkeeper also offer discount @ 30 $%$ = $\frac{30}{100} \times 900 = ₹ 270$
Price of skirt after 30 $%$ discount = ₹ 900 - ₹ 270 = ₹ 630
So, ₹ 630 paid by Pragya for the skirt.
