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

Get 1 unit profit at 5 units.
C.P = 5 unit.
S.P = 6 unit.
for a gain 20%;
6*5/6 = 5.

Simple method.
6 for a rupee and he sell to gain 20% we have taken 120 because of 20 % gain.
6*100/120 = 5.

CP of 1 toffee= (1/6).
SP to get 20%gain= (1.2x (1/6) ).
How many to sell to get 1 rupee=> 1/SP= (6/1.2) =5.
SP to get 20%gain= (1.2x (1/6) ).
How many to sell to get 1 rupee=> 1/SP= (6/1.2) =5.
