A dealer offers a cash discount of $20\%$ and still makes a profit of $20\%$, when he further allows $16$ articles to a dozen to a particular sticky bargainer. How much percent above the cost price were his wares listed?

Let the Cost Price (CP) be $x$ and Listing Price (LP) be $y$

$0.8y=1.2(x+ x/3)$

$\implies y= 2x$

So, the  listing price is twice the cost price which means 100% more than the cost price.
