Given:

Cost price of 2120 articles = Selling price of 1696 articles.

Formula Used:

Gain % = (Gain / Cost Price) × 100

Gain = Selling Price - Cost Price

Calculation:

Let the cost price of one article = ₹1.

Cost Price of 2120 articles = ₹2120

Selling Price of 1696 articles = ₹2120

Selling Price of one article = ₹(2120 / 1696)

Selling Price of one article = ₹(5/4)

Gain per article = ₹(5/4 - 1)

Gain per article = ₹(1/4)

Gain % = [(1/4) / 1] × 100

Gain % = 25%

The gain percentage is 25%.
