STEP 1: Find the price of the article after allowing 20% discount:
Price of the article = ₹1000
Discount of 20% = 0.2 x 1000 = ₹200
Price after discount = 1000 - 200 = ₹800
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 2: Calculate price with 20% gain after the discount:
20% of ₹800 = 0.2 x 800 = ₹160
Price with 20% gain = 800 + 160 = ₹960
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The shopkeeper has to sell it at ₹960
