Cost price (CP): Rani buys 6 toys for 1 rupee.
Selling price (SP): Rani sells 3 toys for 1 rupee.

Formula Used:

Cost Price per Toy:

CP per Toy=Total CostNumber of Toys\text{CP per Toy} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Toys}}​​

Selling Price per Toy:

SP per Toy=Total Selling PriceNumber of Toys\text{SP per Toy} = \frac{\text{Total Selling Price}}{\text{Number of Toys}}​​

Profit per Toy:

Profit per Toy=SP per ToyCP per Toy\text{Profit per Toy} = \text{SP per Toy} - \text{CP per Toy}​​

Profit Percentage:

Profit Percentage=Profit per ToyCP per Toy×100\text{Profit Percentage} = \frac{\text{Profit per Toy}}{\text{CP per Toy}} \times 100​​

Solution:

CP per Toy=1 rupee6=16 rupee\text{CP per Toy} = \frac{1 \text{ rupee}}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \text{ rupee}​​

Calculate SP per toy:

SP per Toy=1 rupee3=13 rupee\text{SP per Toy} = \frac{1 \text{ rupee}}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ rupee}​​

Calculate Profit per toy:

Profit per Toy=1316=16 rupee\text{Profit per Toy} = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \text{ rupee}​​

Calculate Profit Percentage:

Profit Percentage=1616×100=100%\text{Profit Percentage} = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{6}} \times 100 = 100\%​​
