1rs = 100 paisa
Sp of 1 toffee is 100/6.
New Sp of 1 toffe=120/6=20paisa ( as 20%profit),
In 100 paisa there will be 100÷20= 5 toffees.

100 paisa = 6 toffee -----> 1
120 paisa = X toffee -----> 2.
So the equation 1&2 equal.
Then, 100 * 6 = 120 * X.
X = 600/120.
X = 5.
120 paisa = X toffee -----> 2.
So the equation 1&2 equal.
Then, 100 * 6 = 120 * X.
X = 600/120.
X = 5.

Assume for 100 rs he needs 120 including profit. So
100 rs 600 toffees.
Check-in option with which when dividing 120 comes 600/5 = 120.
100 rs 600 toffees.
Check-in option with which when dividing 120 comes 600/5 = 120.

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.

DOUBT:
How do you people say "S.P of 6 toffees = 120% of 1".
When the given question is S.P of X toffees = 120% of 1".
How do you people say "S.P of 6 toffees = 120% of 1".
When the given question is S.P of X toffees = 120% of 1".

C.P = 6rs
S.P = ?
S.P for gain = (100 + gain%)/(100 * c.p)
= (100 + 20%)/(100 * 6),
= 120/600,
= 1/5,
= 0.5.
We can take it as 5rs.
S.P = ?

By using this formula one can easily findout the solution.
s.p = {(100+gain%)/100} * c.p,
1/X = {(100+20%)/100} * 1/6,
Hence X = 5.
s.p = {(100+gain%)/100} * c.p,
1/X = {(100+20%)/100} * 1/6,
Hence X = 5.

@All.
sp=6
Gain=20%
Cp= x
Gain %= SP- CP/CP*100.
20 = 6- X/x*100.
20X=(6-x)*100,
20X= 600-100x,
120 X=600,
X= 600/120,
X= 5 ans.
sp=6
Gain=20%
Cp= x
Gain %= SP- CP/CP*100.
20 = 6- X/x*100.
20X=(6-x)*100,
20X= 600-100x,
120 X=600,
X= 600/120,
X= 5 ans.
