Solution

The ratio of the cost price (CP) to the selling price (SP) is given as 20:21.

Step 1: Let's assume the cost price (CP) to be 20x and the selling price (SP) to be 21x.

Step 2: We know that gain is calculated as the difference between the selling price and the cost price. So, Gain = SP - CP = 21x - 20x = x.

Step 3: The gain percentage is calculated as (Gain/CP)*100. Substituting the values we get, (x/20x)*100 = 5%.

So, the gain percent on the article is 5%.
