Answer:
total pen sold = 70
Profit earned = RS 1 × 70 = RS 70
If there is no profit or loss in a month then it shows that the profit = loss
Profit and loss cancel each other and therefore there is neither profit nor loss .
Loss in that month = profit = RS 70
Let the no. of pencil be x and loss = RS 70
Loss for one pencil = 40 paise = RS 0.40
No. of pencil shopkeeper sell =
Total loss / Loss on 1 pencil
= 70/ 0.40
= 175
Therefore shopkeeper sold 175 pencil and 70 pens
