  1. [tex] \sf \: The \: amount \: of \: profit \: earned \: in \: \\ \sf selling \: 1 \: pen \: is \: Re \: 1[/tex]

    [tex] \mapsto \sf The \: amount \: of \: profit \: earned \: in \: \\ \sf selling \: 45 \: pen \: is \: Re. \: 1 \: x \: 45 = \: \: 45[/tex]

    Hence, the profit earned is Rs. 45

    The net loss he suffered in selling pencil is Rs. 5.

    • [tex]\sf The \: loss \: in \: transaction \: is \: loss: =-Rs.5 \: – Rs. \: 45 \: =-Rs.50 \: =-5000 \: paise[/tex]

    Loss incurred in selling 1 pencil =- 40 paise

    The number of pencil sold by the shopkeeper is 5000/40 = 125 pencils

    • Hence, the number of pencil sold by the shopkeeper is 125 pencils.

  2. Answer:

    No. of pen sells=45

    therefore profit = 45×1=45rs.

    loss on x pencil = x ×.40=0.40x rs.

    a/q. = 0.40x-45rs=5

    0.40x = 50rs

    x=50/0.40

    =125
