    Solution

    ATQ,

    Cost price of 5 dozen sandwiches = Rs. 300

    Selling price of 42 sandwiches = 42 × (90/12) = Rs. 315

    Selling price of 18 sandwiches = 18 × (60/12) = Rs. 90

    Selling price of 60 sandwiches = 315 + 90 = Rs. 405

    Profit earned on selling 60 sandwiches = 405 – 300 = Rs. 105

    Profit percentage = (105/300) × 100 = 35%
