Answer 2

Answer:

125 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

let we take a pen rate is 1 rupee.

45 pens were sold and gains 1 rupee for each pen.

so 45 pens = 90 rupees.

if we take a pencil rate is 1 rupee, then we sold it for only 60 paise( Given loses 40 paise on each pencil).

if he lose 5 rupees in all he sold over all 40 rupees only.

so he loses 50 rupees

given that if we sold a pencil we loses 40 paise on each so that

50 rupees loses = 125 if we sold.
