Question:medium

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

Show Hint

When the investment amount is constant (e.g., one rupee), the quantity sold is inversely proportional to the price multiplier. To gain \(20%\) (which is a multiplier of \(1.2\) or \(6/5\)), you must sell \(5/6\) of the original quantity. \(6 \times (5/6) = 5\).
