Solution

The gain percent can be calculated using the formula:

Gain % = (Gain / Cost Price) * 100

Here, the gain is equal to the selling price of 20 oranges.

Let's assume the cost price of 1 orange is 1.Therefore,thecostpriceof100orangesis1. Therefore, the cost price of 100 oranges is 100.

The vendor gains the selling price of 20 oranges by selling 100 oranges. So, the selling price of 100 oranges is 100(costprice)+100 (cost price) + 20 (gain) = $120.

Therefore, the gain is $20.

Substituting these values into the formula:

Gain % = (20 / 100) * 100 = 20%

So, the vendor's gain percent is 20%.
