    If the question is correct then plz explain, otherwise guide me how this is incorrect?
    Waiting for your expert opinion.

    Saying that the profit is 120% of the sales price means that the profit is more than the sale price (1.2 x sales price)

    This is not possible, you cannot make more profit on something than the price you are selling it for.
