A car dealer bought a second-hand car for N250,000 and spent N70,000 refurbishing it. He then sold the car for N400,000. What is the percentage gain?

A.

60%

B.

32%

C.

25%

D.

20%

Correct Answer: 25%

Explanation

Total cost = N(250,000 + 70,000) = N320,000 Selling price = N400,000 (given) Gain = SP - CP = N(400,000 - 320,000) = N80,000 Gain % = gain/CP x 100 = (80,000/320,000) x 100 Gain % = 25%

Total cost = N(250,000 + 70,000) = N320,000 Selling price = N400,000 (given) Gain = SP - CP = N(400,000 - 320,000) = N80,000 Gain % = gain/CP x 100 = (80,000/320,000) x 100 Gain % = 25%
