${\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{45}{5} = \boxed{\tt Rs \: \: 9}}$

Now, we have :-

Selling price of each pencil :- ₹ 9

Cost price of each pencil :- ₹ 12.50

So, we should find the cost price and selling price of 10 pencils

Cost price of 10 pencils :-

${\tt \longrightarrow 12.50 \times 10}$

${\tt \longrightarrow Rs \: \: 125}$

Selling price of 10 pencils :-

${\tt \longrightarrow 9 \times 10}$

${\tt \longrightarrow Rs \: \: 90}$

Here, the cost price is greater than selling price, so we have obtained with loss

Total loss obtained :-

${\tt \longrightarrow 125 - 90}$

${\tt \longrightarrow Rs \: \: 35}$

$\Huge\therefore$ The total loss obtained for while selling the pencils is ₹ 35.
