1 rs ----> 6 toffe.
20 % profit i.e 5:6.
so 5------> 5x6= 30.
6------> 6x6 = 36.
The profit from 30 to 36 is of 6.
So, the ans is 6.
20 % profit i.e 5:6.

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,

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.

@All.
sp=6
Gain=20%
Cp= x
Gain %= SP- CP/CP*100.
20 = 6- X/x*100.
20X=(6-x)*100,
20X= 600-100x,
120 X=600,
X= 600/120,
X= 5 ans.
sp=6
Gain=20%
Cp= x
Gain %= SP- CP/CP*100.
20 = 6- X/x*100.
20X=(6-x)*100,
20X= 600-100x,
120 X=600,
X= 600/120,
X= 5 ans.

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.

20% gain it means 1/5;
Get 1 unit profit at 5 units.
C.P = 5 unit.
S.P = 6 unit.
for a gain 20%;
6*5/6 = 5.
