A man bought a car newly for ₦1,250,000. He had a crash with the car and later sold it at the rate of ₦1,085,000. What is the percentage gain or loss of the man?
43.7% loss
13.2% gain
13.2% loss
43.7% gain

Explanation

Cost price of the car = N 1,250.00

Selling price = N 1,085.00

Loss = N (1250 - 1085)

= N 165.00

% loss = \(\frac{165}{1250} \times 100%\)

= 13.2% loss
