56250*10/25= Jus look at the 562, multiple to 25 first by 2 i.e 50 remaining 6 and becomes 62 again we multiple 25 by 2 to get 50 as 3 multiple of 25 will be 75 i.e more hence we got at numerator 22 now look in options only one option with 22 at start hence that is our answer. Hope this help.

Cost price of paper =56250.
Let the CP =X.
Cost price of paper given in pie chat is 25% of X.
25/100 * X =56250 therefore x =225000 = total cost.
As total cost =225000 so 10% will be 22500.

If 25% is 56250 then 100% is 56250 x 4 = 225000 and 10% which we have to find out is 10% of 225000 = 22500.
Which is there in the option so that's the answer.

Paper cost = 25%.
25% = 56250.
1% = 56250/25.
100% = (56250 x 100)/25 = 225000.
Promotion cost = 10%.
(225000 x 10)/100=22500.
25% = 56250.
1% = 56250/25.
100% = (56250 x 100)/25 = 225000.
Promotion cost = 10%.
(225000 x 10)/100=22500.

15% = 281250/12500 = 22.5.
105% = 15%x7=>22.5x7 = 157.5.
105% = 15%x7=>22.5x7 = 157.5.

25 : 56250 = 10:r.
r = 56250 * 10/25 = 22500.
r = 56250 * 10/25 = 22500.
