hi

aim : The cost price of 6 pencil is equal to selling price of 5 pencils find the profit percent

cp of 6 pencil = sp of 5 pencil

let the cp of 1 penicel be rs 1

then,

cp of 6 pencil = 6 rs

and 

sp of 5 pencil = 6 rs

so sp of 1 pencil = 6/5

 = 1.2 rs

gain = sp - cp

= 1.2 - 1

= 0.2

gain% = 100*gain/cp

           = 100*0.2/1

         = 20%

hope it helps u

:)
