A shopkeeper gains rupees 1 on each pen and loses 40 paise on each pencil
The money he earned by selling 45 pens =Rs 45
Overall The money he got loosed = Rs 5
Therefore, the money he gained/loosed in pencils=x
45+x=-5
x=50
Therefore, he loos the money in pencils = 50
Now ,
50pencils*60/40loss=25*3
=75
Therefore, the number of pencils he sells=75
