profit on 1 pen = Rs 1
loss on 1 pencil = Rs 0.30
let the number of pencils sold be = N
net profit-loss = 40 pens * Rs 1 - N * Rs 0.30 = - Rs 5.00
solving that we get : N = 45 /0.30 = 150 pencils
loss on 1 pencil = Rs 0.30
let the number of pencils sold be = N
net profit-loss = 40 pens * Rs 1 - N * Rs 0.30 = - Rs 5.00
solving that we get : N = 45 /0.30 = 150 pencils
