Answers
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 cancell each other and therefore there is niether 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
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
hi mate here is ur answer
125 pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit earned by selling 1 pen = Re 1
Profit earned by 45 pens = Rs. 45, which we denote by + Rs. 45
Total loss given = Rs. 5, which we denote by Rs -5.
Profit earned + Loss incurred = Total Loss
Therefore, loss incured = Total Loss - Profit earned.
= Rs. (-5-45)
=Rs. (-50)= -5000 paise
Loss incurred by selling one pencil = 40 paise, which we write as -40 paise.
So, number of pencils sold = (−5000)÷(−40)=125 pencils.
