Solution

The problem states that the profit from selling 20 articles is equal to the selling price of 4 articles. This means that the profit from selling 1 article is equal to the selling price of 4/20 = 0.2 articles.

The profit percent can be calculated using the formula:

Profit % = (Profit/Cost Price) * 100

Here, the profit is equal to the selling price of 0.2 articles and the cost price is equal to the selling price of 1 article (since the selling price of 1 article is 100% of its cost).

So, the profit percent is:

Profit % = (0.2/1) * 100 = 20%

Therefore, the profit percent is 20%.
