Verified by Toppr

Let x be the cost price of article.

Therefore,

x−10020x=700

x−5x=700

5x−x=3500

x=43500=875

Thus the cost price of article is Rs.875.

Now to make profit of 20%,

Selling price 

=875+10020×875=875+175=Rs.1050

Hence, to make 20% profit, the article should be sold for Rs.1050.
