Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

profit= s.p - c.p

cp of 20 articles= sp of X articles

profit = 25% = 25/100= 1/4

total sale = 20 + 1/4* 20

= 20+5=25

so 20/25 x 20

4/5 x 20

4 x 4

16

Answer 2

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, 1 article price = Re.1

CP of 20 article = 20

SP of x article = 20

CP of x article = x

Profit = 20 - x

Profit(%) = {(20 - x)/x} * 100

Profit(%) = 25

or, (20 - x) / x = 25/100

or, 80 - 4x = x

or, 5x = 80

or, x = 16
