Question

Q6. Varun earns a profit of Rs.6 by selling one pen and incurs a loss of Rs.40

paisa on selling one pencil. If he sells 70 pencils and 100 pens, find his net profit or

loss.. ​

Answer 1

125

Profit earned by selling 1 pen = Re 1

Profit earned by 45 pens = Rs. 45, which we denote by + Rs. 45

Total loss given = Rs. 5, which we denote by Rs -5.

Profit earned + Loss incurred = Total Loss

Therefore, loss incured = Total Loss - Profit earned.

= Rs. (-5-45)

=Rs. (-50)= -5000 paise

Loss incurred by selling one pencil = 40 paise, which we write as -40 paise.

So, number of pencils sold = (−5000)÷(−40)=125 pencils.
