Various Expenditures (in percentage) Incurred in Publishing a Book
The price of the book is marked 20% above the C.P. If the marked price of the book is Rs. 180, then what is the cost of the paper used in a single copy of the book?
Rs. 36
Rs. 37.50
Rs. 42
Rs. 44.25
Correct answer is B
Clearly, marked price of the book = 120% of C.P.
Also, cost of paper = 25% of C.P
Let the cost of paper for a single book be Rs. n.
Then, 120 : 25 = 180 : n => n = Rs. ( (25 x 180)/120 ) = Rs. 37.50
