Answer 2

cost = c, s = selling price

20s - 20c = 5s

20c = 15s

c = 3/4s

% of gain based on cost:

= 100%([1 - 3/4]/[3/4])

= 100%([1/4]/[3/4])

= 100%(1/4[4/3])

= 100%(1/3)

= 33 1/3%

Answer: 33 1/3% or 33.33 1/3% is the gain based on cost.

% of gain based on sales:

= 100%(1 - 3/4)

= 100%(1/4)

= 25%

Answer: 25% is the gain based on sales.

Answer 3

Let the selling price of an article is Re.1

The, selling price of 20 articles is Rs.20

and selling price of 5 articles is Rs.5

Here,selling price(SP)=Rs.20

Gain=Rs.5

Cost price(CP)=SP-Gain=20-5=Rs.15

Now, gain%=(Gain/CP)*100

Gain%=(5/15)*100=100/3=33.33%

Answer 4

Hi, Anusha J!

Suppose he sells them at £1 each.

Income is £20.

He has gained £5, so he bought them for £15.

  Gain percentage = (5/15) *100 = 33.33%  

Good luck!
