I found that this solution is wrong why you are using 20% if the graph shows 10% for promotion.

If 20% .........30600
1%............30600/20
15%...........30600/20*15=22950
1%............30600/20
15%...........30600/20*15=22950

20 is not mentioned in the above question so how and why all of you using 20% = 30600?

Yes, I agree because the printing % is 20 and royalty % is 15.
So 20:15 =30600:X.
So 20:15 =30600:X.
