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

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.
