Let, the number of oranges bought be $₹x.$

$	herefore$ $C.P.$ of $x$ oranges $=\frac{x 	imes 40}{2 	imes 12}+\frac{x 	imes 40}{2 	imes 12}=₹ \frac{70 x}{24}$

$	herefore$ $S.P.$ of $x$ oranges $=\frac{x 	imes 45}{12}$

Now, according to the question,

$\frac{45 x}{12}-\frac{70 x}{12}=480$

$\Rightarrow \frac{90 x-70 x}{24}=480$

$x=\frac{480 	imes 24}{20}=576=48 	imes 12=48$ dozen
