6 tofees = 1
1 tofee = 1/6.
sp = cp + p.
sp = 1/6 + 20%(1/6),
sp = 1/6 + 1/30.
sp = 1/5.
And 5sp = 1
This means if the vendor sells 5 tofees. Then he gets 1 rupee.
1 tofee = 1/6.
sp = cp + p.
sp = 1/6 + 20%(1/6),
sp = 1/6 + 1/30.
sp = 1/5.
And 5sp = 1
This means if the vendor sells 5 tofees. Then he gets 1 rupee.
