in Pack1 she bought 0.25 per toffee
and In Pack 2 she bought 0.65 per toffee
So the Average Rate at which she bought toffees is (0.25+0.65)/2=0.45
So for Dozen She purchasing at 12*0.45=5.40
But She is selling at 3.50 per dozen
So she is Losing 5.40-3.50 = 1.9 per dozen
Her Loss Percentage is 35.18%
