Let the cost be x.

Then the selling price of 25 chairs = 20x.

         the selling price of each chair = 20x/25.

We know that Loss = CP - SP

                                  = x - 20x/25

                                  = 5x/25

                                  = x/5.


Loss % = Loss/cp * 100

            = x/5/x * 100

            = 20.
