Find the price of 20 articles:
1 article = Rs 80
20 articles = 80 x 20 = Rs 1600
Find the new price:
increase = 25% of Rs 80 = 0.25 x 80 = Rs 20
New Price = 80 + 20 = Rs 100
Find the number of articles he can buy now:
1 article = Rs 100
Number of articles he can buy = 1600 ÷ 100 = 16
Answer: He can buy 16 articles with the same amount of money
