Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Given:

The man buys the car for 80000 units.

For repairing the car, the man spends 20000 units.

The man sells the car for 125000 units.

To find:

The gain percent of the man.

Solution:

The man buys the car for 80000 units.

For repairing the car, the man spends 20000 units.

∴ Total expenditure of the man for the car_

(80000 + 20000) units.

= 100000 units.

The man sells the car for 125000 units.

∴ Gain = (125000 - 100000) units

= 25000 units.

∴ Gain % = (25000×100)/100000

= (25000/1000)

= 25 %.

∴ The gain of the man is 25 %.

Answer:

His gain is 25%.
