Rohit bought $20$ soaps and $12$ toothpaste . He marked up the soaps by $15$% on the cost price of each and the toothpastes by Rs. $20$ on the cost price of each. He sold $75$ $\%$ of the soaps and $8$ toothpastes and made a profit of Rs. $385$. If the cost of a toothpaste is $60$ $\%$, the cost of a soap and he got no return on unsold items, what was his overall profit or loss ?

Let the cost price of one soap be Rs. 100, making the cost price of one toothpaste Rs. 60, yielding a total cost of (20 times 100) plus (12 times 60), which equals Rs. 2720. The revenue from selling 15 soaps at Rs. 115 each equals Rs. 1725, and selling 8 toothpastes at an Rs. 80 selling price equals Rs. 640, making the total revenue Rs. 2365. The difference between the cost of Rs. 2720 and the revenue of Rs. 2365 equals a loss of Rs. 355.
