Q.	By selling 20 articles for a rupee, a man losses 4%. How many articles for a rupee should he sell so as to make a gain of 20%?

Selling price of each article = $\frac{1}{20}$

96 % = $\frac{1}{20}$

120 % = $\frac{1}{20 \times 96} \times 120 = \frac{1}{16}$ (Price of 1 article)

Hence 16 for a rupee
