• A. ₹$19,450$
• B. ₹$21,200$
• C. ₹$22,950$
• D. ₹$26,150$

Answer 1

Given that, printing cost $ = \text₹30,600$

Now, $20\% \implies \text₹30,600$

Then, the amount of royalty to be paid $15\% \implies  x$

Therefore $x = \text₹22,950.$

So, the correct answer is $(C).$

Answer 2

Option C

Given, printing cost = 30600. So,

$20 \mathbin{\%} \Rightarrow 30600$

$1 \mathbin{\%} \Rightarrow 30600/20$

$15 \mathbin{\%} \Rightarrow (30600/20)*15$ $\Rightarrow 22950$
