Define x:

Let the cost price be x


Find the Selling Price in term of x:

Selling Price = 6/5 of cost price

Selling Price = 6/5 x


Find the profit:

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

Profit = 6/5 x - x = 1/5 x


Find the profit percentage:

Profit Percentage = Profit ÷ cost Price x 100

Profit Percentage = (1/5 x ÷  x) x 100

Profit Percentage = 1/5 x 100

Profit Percentage = 20%


Answer: The profit is 20%
