4.
If 5500 copies are published and the transportation cost on them amounts to Rs. 82500, then what should be the selling price of the book so that the publisher can earn a profit of 25%?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
For the publisher to earn a profit of 25%, S.P. = 125% of C.P.
Also Transportation Cost = 10% of C.P.
Let the S.P. of 5500 books be Rs. x.
Then, 10 : 125 = 82500 : x  x = Rs. |
 |
125 x 82500 |  |
= Rs. 1031250. |
| 10 |
 S.P. of one book = Rs. |
|
1031250 | |
= Rs. 187.50 . |
| 5500 |

I am unable to understand SP =125% of CP.
As per @Anup's explanation at the top. 25% profit on 100 rs. CP is 125. how does that become 125% of CP?
Isn't S.P = 125% of CP ((100 * 125/100) = 125+100 = 225) here is 225? which is more than 25% profit?
Please explain.

The transportation cost is 82500, the graph says that the transportation cost is 10 % of CP, so CP will be 82500*100/10=825000, now to earn a profit of 25 %, the SP should be 825000 * 25/100 +825000=1031250.
This is the SP of 5500 books, so for 1 book=1031250/5500 = 187.5.
This is the SP of 5500 books, so for 1 book=1031250/5500 = 187.5.

10% = 82500/5500=15 ---------> eq1.
100% = 150(eq1 x 10)
20% = 30(eq 1 x 2)
5% = 7.5(eq 1 /2 )
125% = 150 + 30 + 7.5 = 187.5.
100% = 150(eq1 x 10)
20% = 30(eq 1 x 2)
5% = 7.5(eq 1 /2 )
125% = 150 + 30 + 7.5 = 187.5.
