Let's assume the number of pens the store sold yesterday is represented by x.
According to the given information, the store sold 4 pencils for every 5 pens. This can be written as:
4/5 = 28/x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
4x = 5 * 28
4x = 140
Dividing both sides by 4, we find:
x = 35
Therefore, the store sold 35 pens yesterday.
