Dear student,
$$\begin{gathered} LettheoriginalPricebe\text{'}x\text{'} \\ Whenthepriceofshirtreducedby15\% \\ thenx-15\%ofx=123.25 \\ \Rightarrow x-\frac{15x}{100}=123.25 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{100x-15x}{100}=123.25 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{85x}{100}=123.25 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{123.25\times 100}{85} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{12325\times 100}{85\times 100} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{12325}{85} \\ \Rightarrow x=145 \\ ThustheoriginalpriceofshirtisRs145. \end{gathered}$$
