    Solution

    ATQ,

    Cost price of 6 dozen cupcakes = Rs. 360

    Selling price of 48 cupcakes = 48 × (108/12) = Rs. 432

    Selling price of 24 cupcakes = 24 × (72/12) = Rs. 144

    Selling price of 72 cupcakes = 432 + 144 = Rs. 576

    Profit earned on selling 72 cupcakes = 576 – 360 = Rs. 216

    Profit percentage = (216/360) × 100 = 60%
