Solution

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

  1. First, we need to find out how much the shop man sold each pen for. He bought 7 pens for 10, so the cost of each pen for him is 10/7 = 1.43 approximately.

  2. He sold the pens at a profit of 40%. So, the selling price of each pen is 1.43 + 40% of 1.43 = 1.43 + 0.57 = 2 approximately.

  3. Now, if a customer has 10, the number of pens he can buy is 10/2 = 5 pens.

So, a customer would get 5 pens for 10.
