C.P of 6 toffees = RS.1.
Gain=20%(i.e)0.2.
0.2X = Rs.1.
X = 1/0.2.
= 5.
Please suggest will this be a right approach?

Suppose he sell x chocolates at the cost of 6 chocolates and gain profit or 20%.
By formula,
(6-x)/x*100 = 20.
x = 5.
By formula,
(6-x)/x*100 = 20.
x = 5.

c.p =1.
p%=20.
so,sp=(120/100)c.p=1.2(for 6 toffes(i.e 0.2 for each)).
so, 0.2*5(why 5,to sell it for 1 re)=1 (ans :5).
p%=20.
so,sp=(120/100)c.p=1.2(for 6 toffes(i.e 0.2 for each)).
so, 0.2*5(why 5,to sell it for 1 re)=1 (ans :5).

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

6 toffee = 100paisa.
1 toffee = 100/6paisa(CP).
100/6*120/100 = 20paisa.
So, 1 toffee - 20paisa.
5 toffee - 100 paisa.
1 toffee = 100/6paisa(CP).
100/6*120/100 = 20paisa.
So, 1 toffee - 20paisa.
5 toffee - 100 paisa.
