    Gain percent = (Gain/S.P)*100
    =>20=((SP-CP)/SP) * 100
    =>S.P= 5 (S.P - C.P)
    =>5 CP= 4 CP
    =>SP=(5*CP/4)
    =>SP= (1+1/4)CP
    Therefore gain = 25%

    Sp=100 (since 20%profit on selling price)
    Cp=80
    New cp=72( reduced by 10%)
    New Sp= 90
    Profit%= ((90-72)/72)*100%=25%

    20% profit.
    100 cp......120sp
    90cp..........108sp
    (18/90)×100 gives 20%
