Solution

Cost price = Rs 528
Rate of discount = 12%
Marked price = ?
SP= MP − discount
Let the MP be Rs $x$ .
$Now, \frac{x - 12}{100 \times x} = 528 \Rightarrow \frac{88 x}{100} = 528 \Rightarrow 88 x = 52800 \Rightarrow x = \frac{52800}{88} \Rightarrow x = Rs 600$

Therefore, the marked price of tea set is Rs 600.
