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.

Cost Price of 6 Tofees is Rs 1, Profit % = 20% , SP=?
According To Formula,
SP= CP(100+Profit%)Totally Divided by 100.
so SP = 1(100+20) / 100,
= 120/100 = 1.2

So Required Quantity He must sell is = 6/1.2 =5 Ans/-

Hope you understand guys.

120/- ---- 6
100/- ---- ?
so that cross multiplication
100*6/120 = 5.

A fruit saler buys 12 apples for Rs 36. If the fruit saler made 20% profit. How many Apple did fruit saler sales for rs 36.

Please, solve the problem for me. Thank you.

Thank you.

Easy solution.

x * 120/100 = 6,
120x/120 = 600/120,
x = 5,
or
6/1.2 = 5.

Let x is the toffee should be sold to get re1.
one toffee rate=1/6;

20 percent gain means the rate of one toffie=(120/100)*(1/6)=y,
6*(1/6) = x*y;
x = 5.

Thank you @Chetan.

Your explanation was nice, I understood the problem clearly.

They ask how many pics will you buy if the price increases @20%.

1 Rup =100 Pc.

Find the single pic value (100/6=16.66 Pc).
if we increase the price means it affects the single price value so find the single price value after 20% gain or rise of the price.

16.66*(20/100)=3.33,
rising cost 3.33+basicprice (16.66)=19.99,
app=20 Pc for pic.
20*6=120 after adding profit 20%,
for that past price we only buy,
5 pic for 100 pic= 1 rup.
1.20 Pc will need for buy that 6 pic.

S.p = 1
C.P = N*1/6.
