Various expenditures incurred by a publishing company for publishing a book in 2018 are given in the following pie-chart. Study the chart and answer the question. Price printed on a book is 15% above the cost price. If the price printed on a book is ₹942, then the cost of paper for a single copy in ₹ is (rounded off to one decimal place) |
₹122.9 ₹188.5 ₹182.5 ₹220.6 |
₹122.9 |
115% of cost price = 942 Cost price = \(\frac{100}{115}\) × 942 = 819.13 Cost on paper = \(\frac{15}{100}\) × 819.13 = 122.86 = 122.9 |
