Let total items be 15 and cost price of each item be Rs. x

Selling price of 5 items = Rs. {(116/100) × 5x}

Selling price of 9 items = Rs. {(119.5/100) × 9x}

Selling price of 1 item = Rs. {(125/100) × x}

Total selling price = {(116/100) × 5x} + {(119.5/100) × 9x} + {(125/100) × x} = Rs. (17805x/1000)

∴ Overall profit percentage = [{(17805/1000) – 15}x/15x] × 100 = 18.7%
