@Tushar
For 1 toffee it is 20%
Therefore for 6 toffee = 20*6 = 120%
For 1 toffee it is 20%
Therefore for 6 toffee = 20*6 = 120%

Another thought
C.P of 6 toffees= 1 rupee
Profit = 20%
hence using the formula
P=(S.P-C.P)/C.P
20/100=(S.P-1)/1
hence S.P=1.2 rupees for 6 toffees
so if 1.2 rupees = 6 toffees
1 rupee= X
therefore X = 5
which is the toffees sold
C.P of 6 toffees= 1 rupee
Profit = 20%
hence using the formula
P=(S.P-C.P)/C.P
20/100=(S.P-1)/1
hence S.P=1.2 rupees for 6 toffees
so if 1.2 rupees = 6 toffees
1 rupee= X
therefore X = 5
which is the toffees sold

Profit%=(profit/cp)*100
profit%=20
cp=1
profit=?
20=(profit/1)100
profit=20/100
profit=1/5
He can sell 5 for 1 RS.
profit%=20
cp=1
profit=?
20=(profit/1)100
profit=20/100

Ismail -- Out of an income of Rs. 15, 000. Diya spends 10, 200. What percent income do save?
15000-10200=4800
4800*100/15000 = 32%
Diya saved 32% of her salary.
15000-10200=4800
4800*100/15000 = 32%
Diya saved 32% of her salary.
