Total CP = 4700 + 800 = 5500rupees.
And,
Given the selling price (s.p) = 5800rupee.
Then profit =(s.p) - (c.p) = 5800-5500 = 300rupess.
Then as we know that profit%=profit * 100/c.p.
So, 300 * 100/5500 = 300/55rupees.
= 60/11rupees.

6T= 100p.
1T= 100/6paisas.
To gain 20% profit on it;
100/6* 120/100=20paisa.
So1T=20 paisa.
Ans in 100 paisa he must give 5 toffee (20*5=100 paisa).
1T= 100/6paisas.

Take;
120 % is 6
100% is ?
120 * x =6 * 100,
x= (6*100) /120;
x = 5.
120 % is 6
100% is ?
120 * x =6 * 100,
x= (6*100) /120;
x = 5.

6 = 6 * 20%,
6 = 120%,
6 = 120/100,
6 = 6/5.
= 6 * 5/6,
= 5.
6 = 120%,
6 = 120/100,
6 = 6/5.
= 6 * 5/6,
= 5.

By using this formula one can easily findout the solution.
s.p = {(100+gain%)/100} * c.p,
1/X = {(100+20%)/100} * 1/6,
Hence X = 5.
s.p = {(100+gain%)/100} * c.p,
1/X = {(100+20%)/100} * 1/6,
Hence X = 5.

Logic is that;
He bought toffees 6 for a rupee but he got 20/100 profit means logically the answer should be less than 6.
So, to get less than 6, the answer should be 6 * 100/120 = 5.

Assume for 100 rs he needs 120 including profit. So
100 rs 600 toffees.
Check-in option with which when dividing 120 comes 600/5 = 120.
100 rs 600 toffees.
Check-in option with which when dividing 120 comes 600/5 = 120.

6--->1re.
X--->20% gain.
6---> 120
X--->100.
So, X = 100 * 6/120 = 5.
X--->20% gain.
6---> 120
X--->100.
So, X = 100 * 6/120 = 5.
