6 = 6 * 20%,
6 = 120%,
6 = 120/100,
6 = 6/5.
= 6 * 5/6,
= 5.
6 = 120%,
6 = 120/100,
6 = 6/5.
= 6 * 5/6,
= 5.

Gain = 120.
C.p = 6 rupees.
Gain profit/c.p ×100.
120/6×100 = 5.
C.p = 6 rupees.
Gain profit/c.p ×100.
120/6×100 = 5.

This is a good way for solving our problems related to maths.

@Sunil.
That goes by the formula: SP = (100+gain%)*CP/100.
That goes by the formula: SP = (100+gain%)*CP/100.

Yes, even I am a bit confused how come 6/5 became 5/6 * 6 ?

C.P. of 6 tofees = 120% of S.P.
6 = 120/100 * S.P.
S.P = 5.
6 = 120/100 * S.P.
S.P = 5.
