Hi there!

So here's what we know:

Alexander payed 5/6 of $1200


The word "of" is the same thing as a multiplying sign :

5/6 × 1200 = Price he payed


5 ÷ 6 = 0.83333333


0.83333333 × 1200 = 1000


So your answer is: Alexander payed $1000 for his computer.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
