• initially CP=Rs 1.0 for 1 toffee
  to attain gain =20%
  SP = 120/100 *1 = Rs 1.20
  therefore the vendor should sell 5 toffees for Rs 6.0

• in 1 rupees = 6 tofee (given)
  profit % = 20(given)
  
  sp = 120/100*1
  sp=6/5
  
  for rs 6/5 , tofee sold = 6
  rs 1 , tofee sold = 6 (Answer)

• here Gain%=20
  now formula is gain%=(gain*100)/cp
  i.e 20=(gain*100)/1
  i.e 20/100=gain
  gain=0.2
  so 6 tofees will be sold at 1.2 rs to gain 20%
  0.20 for each toffee
  i.e 5 toffess will be sold at 1 rs
