turns out to be

20 ----- %
6

Can you please walk me through the math?

Thanks
Even I have a hard time understanding this, context, example please

125/6 will never turn out to be 20*5/6, rather it will be 25*5/6

well, I get the query now,

125/6 = 120/6 + 5/6 = 20+5/6 = 20 & 5/6 now some people write it 20 5/6

Hope it helped
