Answer:
25 percentage
Step by step :
Let SP of 4 articles be x
As SP of 4 articles is equal to CP of 5 articles
Therefore, CP of 5 articles is also x
LCM of 4 and 5 is 20
SP of 20 articles is x / 5 multiplied by 20
That equals to 4x
CP of 20 articles is x / 4 multiplied by 20
That equals to 5x
As SP is more than CP , There is profit
Profit is SP - CP
therefore, 5x - 4x
Equals to x
Profit percentage is profit / CP multiplied by 100
Therefore, x / 4x multiplied by 100 is 25 percentage
Hope this helps
