Answer:

$1000

Explanation:

In order to find 5/6 of the tuition, we just need to multiply the 2 values together.

5/6*1200

Note that 1200 = 1200/1

5/6*1200/1

When multiplying fractions, we can multiply the numerators together, and the denominators together.

5*1200/6*1

6000/6

Divide.

1000

Therefore, the loan was $1000.
