To get 20% profit he sold 6 toffees at 1.20 Rs.
So,
1.2 Rs => 6 toffees.
1 Rs => X toffees.
Cross Multiply, we get
X = (6 x 1) / 1.2 = 5 toffees.
So,
1.2 Rs => 6 toffees.
1 Rs => X toffees.
Cross Multiply, we get
X = (6 x 1) / 1.2 = 5 toffees.

Use this simple formule:
S.P=100+gain%
-----------*C.P
100
S.P=100+20/100
-----------*1
100
Now simplify u will gwt the answer 5
S.P=100+gain%
-----------*C.P
100
S.P=100+20/100
-----------*1
100
Now simplify u will gwt the answer 5

6 tofee for 1 re
1 tofee for 1/6 = .16
g% = g*100/c.p
gain= s.p - c.p
s.p = x
g%=20
20 = (x-.16)*100/.16
x=.192
s.p of 1 =.192
for 5 =.96
there fore 5 tofee
1 tofee for 1/6 = .16
g% = g*100/c.p
gain= s.p - c.p
s.p = x
g%=20
20 = (x-.16)*100/.16
x=.192
s.p of 1 =.192
for 5 =.96
there fore 5 tofee

CP is 1 rs 6 toffees
for 20% profit sp should be increased by 120%. which is 1.2 rs for 6 toffee.
for 1 toffee sp is rs. 0.2,
And for 1 rupee, 0.2*1 = 5 toffees.
for 20% profit sp should be increased by 120%. which is 1.2 rs for 6 toffee.
for 1 toffee sp is rs. 0.2,
And for 1 rupee, 0.2*1 = 5 toffees.

C.P. of 6 toffees = Rs.1.
S.P. of 6 toffees = 120% of Rs.1 =6/5.
For Rs.1 ---------- 6 toffee.
Rs. 6/5 -------- 6*(5/6)=5 toffees. ;120% means 6/5 Rs.
S.P. of 6 toffees = 120% of Rs.1 =6/5.
For Rs.1 ---------- 6 toffee.
Rs. 6/5 -------- 6*(5/6)=5 toffees. ;120% means 6/5 Rs.

Easy way.
Let 6 toffe taken = 100 paise.
20% gain so 120 paise for 6(means 1 toffe given in 20 paise).
Then in 100 paise only 5 toffe will be given(20 * 5).
Let 6 toffe taken = 100 paise.
20% gain so 120 paise for 6(means 1 toffe given in 20 paise).
Then in 100 paise only 5 toffe will be given(20 * 5).

@All.
Here is the solution.
S.P = (100/100 + profit%) * C.P.
Profit% = 20%,
C. P = 6.
S. P = (100/100+20)*6,
S. P = (100/120)*6,
S. P = (5/6)*6,
S. P = 5.
Here is the solution.
S.P = (100/100 + profit%) * C.P.
Profit% = 20%,
C. P = 6.
S. P = (100/100+20)*6,
S. P = (100/120)*6,
S. P = (5/6)*6,
S. P = 5.

Let x is the toffee should be sold to get re1.
one toffee rate=1/6;
20 percent gain means the rate of one toffie=(120/100)*(1/6)=y,
6*(1/6) = x*y;
x = 5.
one toffee rate=1/6;
20 percent gain means the rate of one toffie=(120/100)*(1/6)=y,
6*(1/6) = x*y;
x = 5.

Logically solving,
1 Rs=6 toffees.
20% = 20/100 =1/5.
Let the no.of toffees be Y.
Y*(1/5) = 6,
Y = 30,
Given 1 Rs = 6 Toffee.
So, 30 Toffee = 30/6 =Rs 5.
1 Rs=6 toffees.
20% = 20/100 =1/5.
Let the no.of toffees be Y.
Y*(1/5) = 6,
Y = 30,
Given 1 Rs = 6 Toffee.
So, 30 Toffee = 30/6 =Rs 5.
