      Solution

      ATQ,

      Cost price of 5 dozen sandwiches = Rs. 300

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

      Selling price of 18 sandwiches = 18 Γ— (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) Γ— 100 = 35%
