How did u find .plss tell me

Another quick way of looking at it is: 1/6 loss on cost means, when 6 is cost price, 1 is loss. This implies 5 is Sales price (Cost + Profit). Hence, loss ratio on sales become 1/5

As it is loss 1/6 must be reduced from cost price to get selling price.if it is profit we add profit ratio with selling price .as it is loss we deduct

simple logic selling price is 1 less denominator than cost if cost is 1/a then selling is 1/(a-1) here cost =1/6 then selling =1/(6-1)=1/5
