20 cp = x sp
20(cp/sp)=x
20(100/125)=x
16=x......make it simple.
20(cp/sp)=x
20(100/125)=x
16=x......make it simple.

CP*20 = SP* X.
CP/SP=X/20.
%P=(P/CP)*100.
25=(20-X/X)*100.
X=16.
CP/SP=X/20.
%P=(P/CP)*100.
25=(20-X/X)*100.
X=16.

25 is the answer.
Cost price 20(1+25%100).
20*125%100 = 25.
Cost price 20(1+25%100).
20*125%100 = 25.
