SP of 6 Toffees = 120% of Rs 1 = 120/100*1 =6/5*1 =Rs 6/5 Toffees sold 6*5/6=5 .

Step 1: 6 toffees in 1 Rs.
Step 2: Add 20% to Rs 1, that's 1.2 Rs.
Step 3: 6/1.2 = 5 Toffees.
Step 2: Add 20% to Rs 1, that's 1.2 Rs.
Step 3: 6/1.2 = 5 Toffees.

Easy way:
Formula:- p% = p*100/c.p.
20 = p*100/1.
p = 20/100 = 1/5.
i.e for rs.1 5 toffees.
Formula:- p% = p*100/c.p.
20 = p*100/1.
p = 20/100 = 1/5.
i.e for rs.1 5 toffees.

Hello friends.
We can do use this method or not?
120/100*x = 6
=> x = 6*100/120
=> x = 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.

x = 5.
120 % is 6
100% is ?
120 * x =6 * 100,
x= (6*100) /120;

1 rupee tofee=6.
profit=20%.
s.p=cp*100/100+profit.
s.p=6*100/100+20.
s.p=6*100/120.
s.p=5.
profit=20%.
s.p=cp*100/100+profit.
s.p=6*100/100+20.
s.p=6*100/120.

C.P of 6 toffee = Re 1.
S.P of 6 toffee = 120% of Re 1 = 1.2.
S.P of 1 toffee = 6/1.2 = 5.
S.P of 6 toffee = 120% of Re 1 = 1.2.
S.P of 1 toffee = 6/1.2 = 5.
