Various Expenditures (in percentage) Incurred in Publishing a Book

Q1:

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?

A Rs. 36

B Rs. 37.50

C Rs. 42

D Rs. 44.25

ANS:B - Rs. 37.50

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 ) = Rs. 37.50 .
