Answer:

For an edition of 12,500 copies, the amount of Royalty paid by the publisher is Rs. 2,81,250. What should be the selling price of the book if the publisher desires a profit of 5%?

[A]. Rs. 152.50

[B].

Rs. 157.50 @

[C]. Rs. 162.50

[D]. Rs. 167.50

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Clearly, S.P. of the book = 105% of C.P.

Let the selling price of this edition (of 12500 books) be Rs. x.

Then, 15 : 105 = 281250 : x => x = Rs. ( 105 x 281250 ) = Rs. 1968750.

15

Therefore S.P. of one book = Rs. ( 1968750 ) = Rs. 157.50 .

12500

How did you get 105 C.P?

Mdrn said: (Aug 6, 2011)

Profit = 5% of C.P.

S.P = 5%+100% = 105%.

Let the total cost price be Rs.X. royalty in the pie chart is 15% of X. T

Therefore (15X/100)=281250. Hence X= Rs.1875000.

The cost price (C.P) of a single copy is 1875000/12500 = Rs.150, (where 12500 is the total number of copies given in the question).

Again the publisher desires a profit of 5% of C.P. therefore selling price of single copy (S.P)= C.P+ profit=C.P+ (5%C.P)= 150+(150*5/100)=150+7.5= Rs.157.50 (answer).

How did you get 21250, please explain the (15x/100) =281250 is not clear?

15% is the share of Royalty as per Pie Chart. RS 2,81,250 is the amount paid as Royalty (given in situation above).

Let cost be X then 15% of X = 281250, ie X = 1875000 (total cost for 12500 copies), 1875000/12500 = Rs 150/- Cost per copy now add 5% profit in cost ie. 157.50 (7.5 is the profit 5% of 150).
