a shopkeeper is selling pens at 1.55 each how many pens should he sell to get $1116

Answer 1

To find out how many pens the shopkeeper needs to sell to get $1116, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Number of pens} = \frac{\text{Total amount desired}}{\text{Price per pen}} \]

Substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Number of pens} = \frac{1116}{1.55} \]

Calculating it:

\[ \text{Number of pens} \approx 720 \]

Therefore, the shopkeeper needs to sell approximately 720 pens to receive $1116.
