Solution
C.P. of 20 articles = S.P. of 16 articles.
Let C.P. of 1 article = Rs. 1
C.P. of 20 articles = Rs.20
and C.P. of 16 articles = Rs.16
S.P. of 16 articles = Rs.20 ........[S.P. of 16 articles = C.P. of 20 articles]
Gain = Rs.20 – Rs.16 = Rs.4
Gain% =`4/16xx100`
`=(4xx100)/16`
= 25%

Therefore, for customer that item costs `square` - `square` = 90 rupees
Hence, when the discount is `square` then the selling price is `square` rupees.
Suppose when the discount is `square` rupees, the selling price is x rupees.
