Answer 2

1.2 is the decimal number by which the CP has to be multiplied to get the SP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let Cost price be CP.

Let the Selling price be SP.

Profit = 20%

According to question, it becomes,

$SP=\dfrac{100+P}{100}\times CP\\\\SP=\dfrac{100+20}{100}\times CP\\\\SP=\dfrac{120}{100}\times CP\\\\SP=1.2\times CP$

Hence, 1.2 is the decimal number by which the CP has to be multiplied to get the SP.
