Answer:
4 pens
Step-by-step explanation:
profit by one pen= 5
loss by one pencil=0.30
no of pencils sold=25
therefore, loss by selling 25 pencils=25*0.30
= 7.50
the profit earned in the period = 12.50
therefore the profit earned by the shopkeeper to cover the loss and make a profit of 12.50 rupees = 7.50+12.50
= 20rupees
therefore the shopkeeper must earn 20 rupees by selling the pens
therefore no. of pens sold= 4 pens ( 5 rupees * 4 pens = 20 rupees)
