Solution

By paying ₹20 less of the marked price of an article, a man gets 25% discount.

Let's assume the market price of an article is 100y.

selling price = 100y of (100-25)%

(100y-20) = 100y of 75%

100y-20 = 75y

100y-75y = 20

25y = 20

y = 0.8

The total amount that he has paid = selling price = (100y-20)

= $$(100\times0.8-20)$$

= 80-20

= ₹60
