The cost price of 6 toffee = Rs 1.
Selling price of 6 toffee = (gain + 100) * cost price / 100 = (20 + 100) * 1 / 100 = 120/100 = 6/5.
In 6/5 Rs he can sell 6 toffee,
In 1 Rs he can sell = 6 * 5/6 = 5 toffee.
Selling price of 6 toffee = (gain + 100) * cost price / 100 = (20 + 100) * 1 / 100 = 120/100 = 6/5.
In 6/5 Rs he can sell 6 toffee,
In 1 Rs he can sell = 6 * 5/6 = 5 toffee.
