For 1 rupees to paisa.
Rs 1 = 100 paisa.
100 paisa= 6 toffees,
For 20% profit ie. 120 paisa,
120 = 6,
For 100 = ?
And=(100 * 6)/120 = 5.
Rs 1 = 100 paisa.
100 paisa= 6 toffees,
For 20% profit ie. 120 paisa,
120 = 6,
For 100 = ?
And=(100 * 6)/120 = 5.

(100/100+profit * X).
Where profit = 20% X = 6,
=100/100+20 * 6,
=100/120 * 6,
= 5/6 * 6,
= 5.
Where profit = 20% X = 6,
=100/100+20 * 6,
=100/120 * 6,
= 5/6 * 6,
= 5.

c.p = 1 => 100%,
s.p =x => 120% (because the gain is 20%),
120 = 100x,
x= 6/5,
Total toffess = 6/6/5 = 5.
s.p =x => 120% (because the gain is 20%),
120 = 100x,
x= 6/5,
Total toffess = 6/6/5 = 5.

Gain = 120.
C.p = 6 rupees.
Gain profit/c.p ×100.
120/6×100 = 5.
C.p = 6 rupees.
Gain profit/c.p ×100.
120/6×100 = 5.

@All.
Here is the solution.
S.P = (100/100 + profit%) * C.P.
Profit% = 20%,
C. P = 6.
S. P = (100/100+20)*6,
S. P = (100/120)*6,
S. P = (5/6)*6,
S. P = 5.
Here is the solution.
S.P = (100/100 + profit%) * C.P.
Profit% = 20%,
C. P = 6.
S. P = (100/100+20)*6,
S. P = (100/120)*6,
S. P = (5/6)*6,
S. P = 5.

6 Toffees -> ₹1
1 Toffee -> ? ---->(1)
Let's say 1 toffee is 'x'.
Then 6x = 1 [Cross Multiplication from (1)].
Cost Price is 1/6.
Gain = 20%.
Sp = ?.
20/100 * CP = SP - CP.
1/30 = SP - 1/6,
6/30 = 6SP - 1,
SP = 1/5.
SP is 1/5 ie, one toffee is ₹0.20 or 1/5.
Then how many Toffees can we get for one rupee is the question ie 5 Toffees.
Therefore Ans: 5 Toffees.
1 Toffee -> ? ---->(1)

It's simple,
SP = 6,
Gain = 20%,
CP = x,
Gain % = SP - CP/CP * 100,
20 = 6-x/x * 100,
20x = (6-x) * 100,
20x = 600 - 100x,
120x = 600.
x = 600/120
x = 5.
SP = 6,
Gain = 20%,
CP = x,
Gain % = SP - CP/CP * 100,
20 = 6-x/x * 100,
20x = (6-x) * 100,
20x = 600 - 100x,
120x = 600.
x = 600/120
x = 5.
