20% = 30600(printing cost).
Then,
15% = x(royalty cost),
Let x be the amount to find,
Now cross multiply, and you will get the answer
x = 30600 x 15/20.
x = 22950.
Then,
15% = x(royalty cost),
Let x be the amount to find,
Now cross multiply, and you will get the answer
x = 30600 x 15/20.
x = 22950.

20%------30600.
15%-------?.
20 = 4.
15 = 3.
30600/4 = 7650.
7650*3 = 22950.

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

If we see the chart there is clearly mentioned about the partition of printing i.e 20% and also according to the question the cost of printing is 30,600
so, we can equate 20% to 30,600
therefore, 20%=30,600
1%=30,600/20
then,15%(i.e of loyality which we have to calaculate)=( (30,600*15)/20
Ans. will be 22,950 i.e option 'C'
so, we can equate 20% to 30,600
therefore, 20%=30,600
1%=30,600/20
then,15%(i.e of loyality which we have to calaculate)=( (30,600*15)/20
Ans. will be 22,950 i.e option 'C'

20% = 30,600, (cross multiply)
15% = ?.
=22.950.
15% = ?.
=22.950.

IT IS GIVEN, 20% = 30600.
or, 1%=30600/20.
NOW,
15% = 30600/20*15 = 22950 Answer.
or, 1%=30600/20.
NOW,
15% = 30600/20*15 = 22950 Answer.

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!

20 : 15 = 30600 : m => m = Rs. ( 30600 x 15 ) = Rs. 22,950.

20% = 30,600 then x = 1,53,000 therefore 5% = 7050 therefore answer is 22,950.
