20% = 30600,
1% = 1530,
15% = 1350*5,
= 22950.
1% = 1530,
15% = 1350*5,
= 22950.

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

Given that, the amount to be paid for printing books is 20% (Rs. 30,600).
This is 5 times lesser than the Total amount.
(i.e.) Total amount is = (30,600 x 5),
= 153,000.
We need to find that the amount to be paid by the publisher for the Royalty is 15% of the entire amount.
The amount paid for Royalty is 15%.
= (153,000 x 15 / 100) (i.e.) cut two zeroes on both.
= (1530 x 15),
= 22,950.

@All.
Understand this way,
Printing cost - 30600, which is 20% cost.
So, 1st find out what is the value of One % (1%). 30600/20=1530.
15% Royalty = 15*1530 = 22950.

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.

Suppose total expenses is X.
Total Printing cost is 20% of X.
i.e X*20/100.
As per question, it is Rs.30600.
i.e X * 20/100 = 30600
so, X is 153000
Here we have to calculate royalty which is 15% of X.
i.e 15%*153000 = 22950.
Total Printing cost is 20% of X.
i.e X*20/100.
As per question, it is Rs.30600.
i.e X * 20/100 = 30600
so, X is 153000
Here we have to calculate royalty which is 15% of X.
i.e 15%*153000 = 22950.

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.
