= 120% of 1
= (120/100) x 1
= (12/10) x 1
= (6/5) x 1
= 6/5
Therefore Selling Price of 6 toffees = 6/5.

Hi all,
Let me exaplin more clearly.
We have sp= (gain+100) *cp/100.
So, sp= (20+100) *1/100 = 120/100 = 6/5.
Now no. of toffes for 6/5 rupees= 6, then toffes for 1 rupee (see in ques last sentence) is asked?.
So, it is = 6*5/6 = 5 is the answer!.

6 toffees---> 1 re
given profit % = 20%
=>S.P of 6 toffees = 1.2 re
Now consider only S.P
1.2 re--> 6 toffee
1 re ---> ? toffee
6/1.2 =5

We can also convert Re.1=100paise
therefore each toffee is 100/6=16.67p
we need 20% gain on each toffee.
so the SP should be 120%.
(120/100)*16.67 is 20p
20p*5=100paise=Re.1
so 5 toffees should be sold.

2. The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is:
A. 15 B. 16
C. 18 D. 25
In this sum we take Easy method:
c.p=(100/100+GAIN%)s.p
so
x=(100/125)20
x=16..

Let me to clear all of urs doubt.......
c.p of 6 tofee= Re 1
1 tofee= 1/6
s.p of 6 tofee = x
s.p of 1 tofee= 1/x
profit%=((s.p-c.p)/c.p) x100
put the value and solve u will get 5 as ans

Use this simple formule:
S.P=100+gain%
-----------*C.P
100
S.P=100+20/100
-----------*1
100
Now simplify u will gwt the answer 5

N/A' here N=no. of toffees
A'= 100+percentage/100 we taken + on profit and - on loss
so 6/100+20/100
6x100/120
600/120
=5
this is very shortcut method of this type question

Hey hi i have simple solution
6 toffees for re. 1
so c.p of 6 toffees are= 1
We have default formula to calculate s.p
s.p=(100+profit%)*c.p/100
s.p=(100+20)*1/100
s.p=120*1/100
s.p=120/100
s.p=12/10
s.p=6/5
Therefore selling price is 6/5.

Why we do 6*5/6 nd how it be possile sold tofee 6?
Amit Chandel said:
(Sun, Jul 24, 2011 04:13:31 PM)
Let me tell you
profit is 20%.now we know that
120%=6 tofees so
100=6*100/120
u get 5 ans
hence using the formula
P=(S.P-C.P)/C.P
20/100=(S.P-1)/1
hence S.P=1.2 rupees for 6 toffees
so if 1.2 rupees = 6 toffees
1 rupee= X
therefore X = 5
which is the toffees sold

Is the cost price 8 toffes equal to the selling price of 6 toffes, then the gain percent is 25%. How it calculates?

Profit%=(profit/cp)*100
profit%=20
cp=1
profit=?
20=(profit/1)100
profit=20/100
profit=1/5
He can sell 5 for 1 RS.

Ismail -- Out of an income of Rs. 15, 000. Diya spends 10, 200. What percent income do save?
15000-10200=4800
4800*100/15000 = 32%
Diya saved 32% of her salary.

A watch sold for Rs 448 gives a profit of only 12%. Find the profit % if the selling price had been Rs 512.

A man bought 6 toffees for 1 rs...
sold it for 20% profit...so he sold it for 1.2 rs...
so to get 1 rs back he must sell 5 toffees...simple as that..
ie 6 toffees cost 1.2 so 1 toffee cost 1.2/6=.2
0.2*5=1...
