The following pie chart shows percentage expenses on various items during book production.

If the miscellaneous charges are ₹ 6,000 , how much more are 'Binding and Cutting charges' than 'Royalty'?

Let, total charges be ₹ $$x$$

Now, miscellaneous charges = 4% of $$x$$

So, $$\dfrac{4}{100}\times\ x=6000$$

or, $$\ x=6000\times\ \dfrac{100}{4}=6000\times\ 25=150000$$

So, $$x = ₹150000$$

Now binding and cutting cost accounts to 18% of expenses = ₹ 0.18x

And, royalty accounts to 15% of expenses = ₹ 0.15x

So, required difference = ₹($$\ 0.18x-0.15x) =₹ 0.03x = ₹(0.03\times\ 150000$$) = ₹ 4,500
