It's simple.
20-15=5.
5*100/20=25.
20-15=5.

If there is no fixed amount then we can consider it as 100 or any amount.
I can't get in this case how is it 25%?

Ans should be 5%.
Say price is 20,000.
So royalty:3000.
Printing comes out to be:4000.
And their difference is 1000 which is 5% of 20,000. So, the answer must be 5% rather than 25%.

@Neelam.
If the question asked for how more % the printing cost was, it would be divided by royalty!

It's simple.
20 - 15/20 * 100 = 25.
20 - 15/20 * 100 = 25.
