Question

A vendor bought toffees at $6$ for a rupee. How many for a rupee must he sell to gain $20$%?

• A. $3$
• B. $4$
• C. $5$
• D. $6$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$5$

C.P. of $6$ toffees $=Re.1$
S.P. of $6$ toffees $=120$% of $Re.1=Rs.\frac{6}{5}$
For $Rs.\frac{6}{5}$, toffees sold $=6$.
For $Re.1$, toffee sold $=(6\times \frac{5}{6})=5$.
