1 is = 6/120.

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

6 CP = X SP
CP/SP = X/6
P% = {(X-6)/X}*100
25 = {(X-6)/X}*100
X = 5.
CP/SP = X/6
P% = {(X-6)/X}*100
25 = {(X-6)/X}*100
X = 5.

6--->1re.
X--->20% gain.
6---> 120
X--->100.
So, X = 100 * 6/120 = 5.
X--->20% gain.
6---> 120
X--->100.
So, X = 100 * 6/120 = 5.

@Tushar
For 1 toffee it is 20%
Therefore for 6 toffee = 20*6 = 120%
For 1 toffee it is 20%
Therefore for 6 toffee = 20*6 = 120%
