Question

please tell me it's urgent please ​

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of pencils sold=125

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that:

• Shopkeeper's profit per pen=₹1

• Shopkeeper's loss per pencil=₹0.40

According to the question,

• In a particular month, she sells 45 pens.

This will result in profit of: 45×₹1=₹45

• She incurs an overall loss of ₹5

Which can be seen as (-5-45=-50)

Therefore she must be getting a loss of ₹50 by selling pencils.

Therefore,

Total number of pencils sold= Total loss/Loss by one pencil

=₹50/₹0.40

=₹500/₹4

=125

Therefore total pencils sold in that month are=125
