The gain so obtained is not accurate I guess because still 4 more oranges are left you over as the S.P is per dozen.

1 orange =350/100 = 3.50.
SP of orange = 48/12 = 4,
%gain = profit/CP * 100.
%gain =0.50/3.50 * 100=14 2/7.
SP of orange = 48/12 = 4,
%gain = profit/CP * 100.
%gain =0.50/3.50 * 100=14 2/7.

Sp = 8*48+4*3.5 = 398.
Cp = 350.
Then, (48*100)/350 = 13 2/7.
Clear me where I m wrong?
Cp = 350.
Then, (48*100)/350 = 13 2/7.
