833.33 grams
If the cost price is Rs.100, then to get a profit of 20%, the selling price should be Rs.120.
If 120kg are to be sold, and the dealer gives only 100kg, to get a profit of 20%.
How many grams he has to give instead of one kilogram(1000 gm).
120 gm ------ 100 gm
1000 gm ------ ?
(1000 * 100)/120 = 2500/3 = 833 1/3 grams.
