ANSWER
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.
Answer:
125 is the correct answer ...
