Step-by-step explanation:

let \: the \: sp \: of \: one \: pen \: be₹1.

s.p. \: of \: 40 \: pens = ₹40

loss = sp \: of \: 5 \: pens. =₹5

cp \: of \: 40 \: pens \:  = sp + loss \\  = 40 + 5 = ₹45

hence \: loss\% =  \frac{loss}{cp}  \times 100 \\  =  \frac{5}{45}  \times 100 =  \frac{100}{9}  \\ 11  \frac{1}{9}
