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

6 toffee for 1rupee.
Cost of tofee =1/6 = 0.166
Gain 20% then 6 toffee for 1.2rupee
Cost of toffee after gain = 1.2/6 = 0.2,
For 1rupee toffee cost of 0.2 rupees,
We get 5 toffees.
Cost of tofee =1/6 = 0.166
Gain 20% then 6 toffee for 1.2rupee
Cost of toffee after gain = 1.2/6 = 0.2,
For 1rupee toffee cost of 0.2 rupees,
We get 5 toffees.

6 toffee = 100paisa.
1 toffee = 100/6paisa(CP).
100/6*120/100 = 20paisa.
So, 1 toffee - 20paisa.
5 toffee - 100 paisa.
1 toffee = 100/6paisa(CP).
100/6*120/100 = 20paisa.
So, 1 toffee - 20paisa.
5 toffee - 100 paisa.

For 1 rupees to paisa.
Rs 1 = 100 paisa.
100 paisa= 6 toffees,
For 20% profit ie. 120 paisa,
120 = 6,
For 100 = ?
And=(100 * 6)/120 = 5.
Rs 1 = 100 paisa.
100 paisa= 6 toffees,
For 20% profit ie. 120 paisa,
120 = 6,
For 100 = ?
And=(100 * 6)/120 = 5.

Logically solving,
1 Rs=6 toffees.
20% = 20/100 =1/5.
Let the no.of toffees be Y.
Y*(1/5) = 6,
Y = 30,
Given 1 Rs = 6 Toffee.
So, 30 Toffee = 30/6 =Rs 5.
1 Rs=6 toffees.
20% = 20/100 =1/5.
Let the no.of toffees be Y.
Y*(1/5) = 6,
Y = 30,
Given 1 Rs = 6 Toffee.
So, 30 Toffee = 30/6 =Rs 5.

Now they have given that :
Profit % = 20
He bought toffees for 6 , that is C.P = 6;
Let S.P = x ;
Profit % = Profit / S.P * 100;
Profit = (S.P - C.P) = 6 - x;
20 % = 6 - x / x * 100;
6 - x / x = 1/ 5;
x = 30 - 5x ;
6x = 30;
x = 5;
Then, S.P = 5.
Profit % = 20
He bought toffees for 6 , that is C.P = 6;
Let S.P = x ;
Profit % = Profit / S.P * 100;
Profit = (S.P - C.P) = 6 - x;
20 % = 6 - x / x * 100;
6 - x / x = 1/ 5;
x = 30 - 5x ;
6x = 30;
x = 5;
Then, S.P = 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.
