Answer 1

Hi friend!

Here is your Answer

________________________________

let he sells x pencils.

Total loss(on pencils)= 60x paise
Total gain on pen =2rs = 200p×60
=12000p

loss = 30rs = 3000p

Now equation

60x -12000 = 3000
60x = 3000+12000
60x = 15000
X = 15000/60
X =250 Ans

The number of pencil is 250.
