Best Ans:

Let the cost price and sell price be A and S respectively.

ATQ, (A - 2S/3) /A = 20/100

or, (A - 2S/3) / A = 1/5

or, (A - 2S/3) = A/5

or, 2S/3 = A - A/5

or, 2S/3 = 4A/5

or, S = 4A/5 × 3/2

or, S = 6A/5

Now, profit = (S - A) / A × 100%

= (6A/5 - A) / A × 100%

= (A/5) / A × 100%

= 20%
