Total cost price = 20 × 48 = Rs.960/-

Amount of first selling = 8 × Rs.52.80 = Rs.422.40

Amount of second selling = 12 × Rs.57.60 = Rs.691.20

Total selling price = 422.40 + 691.20 = Rs.1113.60

Profit = 1113.60 – 960 = Rs.153.60

Therefore profit per cent in this transaction = 153.60 × 100/960 = 16%.
