      Solution

      ATQ,

      Cost price of 4 dozen samosas = Rs. 200

      Selling price of 36 samosas = 36 Γ— (72/12) = Rs. 216

      Selling price of 12 samosas = 12 Γ— (54/12) = Rs. 54

      Selling price of 48 samosas = 216 + 54 = Rs. 270

      Profit earned on selling 48 samosas = 270 – 200 = Rs. 70

      Profit percentage = (70/200) Γ— 100 = 35%
