Question

Jack has some pens. He sells 4 pens at a loss of 3 each and 6 pens at a profit 2each. What is his overall profit or loss?​

Answer 1

Answer:

0. Jack didn't earn or lose any money Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

From the data we have we know:

Jack has a total of 10 pens

He earns 2 (dollars, rupees, yen any currency) for 6 pens each

He loses 3 for 4 pens each

so we multiply 2 x 6 = 12, he earned 12 for 6 pens

multiply again 3 x 4 = also 12, so he lost 12 dollars too for 4 pens

So, we know jack lost 12 dollars first and then earned them back as 0 profit -12 and then plus 12 so still 0.

Jack did not profit a single dollar from 10 pens his profit was 0.
