    Solution

    Cost price of 3 dozen momos = Rs. 162 Selling price of 30 momos = 30 × (64.8/12) = Rs. 162 Selling price of 6 momos = 6 × (48.6/12) = Rs. 24.3 Selling price of 36 momos = 162 + 24.3 = Rs. 186.3 Profit earned on selling 36 momos = 186.3 – 162 = Rs. 24.3 Profit percentage = (24.3/162) × 100 = 15%
