Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Assume the cost price of the article is $100.
  2. The man sells it at a profit of 20%, so the selling price is $120.
  3. If he had bought it for 20% less, the cost price would be $80.
  4. But he sells it at the same price, which is $120.
  5. Now, the gain is the selling price minus the new cost price, which is 120120 - 80 = $40.
  6. To find the gain percentage, we divide the gain by the cost price and multiply by 100. So, the gain percentage is (40/40/80)*100 = 50%.

So, the answer is 50%.
