@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
