415,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the decimal equivalent of 125%. To do this, divide 125 by 100 or move two decimal places to the right: 125/100 = 1.25

Now multiply the amount of cars sold last year, 332,000, by the percentage decimal, 1.25: 332,000 x 1.25 = 415,000

The car manufacturer sold 415,000 cars this year
