But why are we calculating 20% to start with?
Can any one explain in detail?

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'

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

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

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

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

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.
