Explanation:

Marked price = Rs. 800
Cost price = 800 ÷ 125 × 100
= Rs.640
Profit = 640 × 12.5%
= Rs.80
Discount = 800 – 640 – 80
= Rs.80
Discount % = 80 ÷ 800 × 100
= 10%
Ratio of the cost price of blanket to the bedsheet = 4 : 3
Cost price of bedsheet = 640/4 x 3 = 480
Marked price of bedsheet = 480 × 112.5% ÷ 90% = Rs 600
