Explanation:

Let the Price of 1 kg rice be Rs.1.
Total rice bought = 80 kg
He offered 1 kg rice free on the purchase of every 20 kg rice.
Free rice = 80/20 = 4 kg
Rate of 80 kg rice = Rs.80
Discount = 10%
Cost price of rice for shopkeeper = 80 x90/100= Rs.72
Selling price of rice for shopkeeper = 80 + 4 = Rs.84
Profit = 84 - 72 = Rs. 12
Profit percentage = 12/72x100=16^2/3 %
