Is there any simpler solution? solution provided is easier to analyze. I just still don't get why do we use 20 as the numerator. Thanks!

Simply first calculate whole cost 30,600 = 20% of X.
X = 30,600/20 X 100 = 1,53000.
So ,
15% of 1,53,000 will be = 22,950.
X = 30,600/20 X 100 = 1,53000.
So ,
15% of 1,53,000 will be = 22,950.

First calculate the TOTAL COST involved in all the process
20% of X = 30,600
so,
X=1,53,000
Now
15% of 1,53,000=22,950
20% of X = 30,600
so,
X=1,53,000
Now
15% of 1,53,000=22,950

The percentage for royalty is 15%
The percentage of printing is 25% = 30,600.
30,600 X 15 divided by 25 = 22,950.
The percentage of printing is 25% = 30,600.
30,600 X 15 divided by 25 = 22,950.

20----->30600.
15----->?.
20*? = 30600*15.
? = 30600*15/20.
= 22950 than possible this processes.

20% = 30600.
10% = 30600/2 = 15300.
5% = 15300/2 = 7650.
We want 15% so 10%+5% = 15300+7650 = 22950.
10% = 30600/2 = 15300.
5% = 15300/2 = 7650.
We want 15% so 10%+5% = 15300+7650 = 22950.

First we have to find out the total exp=100%.
= 30600*100/20.
= 153000.
= 153000*15/100.
= 22950.
= 30600*100/20.
= 153000.
= 153000*15/100.
= 22950.

20% is 30,600
Therefore 15% = ?
? = (15% * 30,600)/20%
i.e (15 * 30,6000)/20
Hope it helps !! :)
