🔸 Term | 🔹 Explanation |
---|---|
Cost Price (CP) | Price at which item is bought |
Selling Price (SP) | Price at which item is sold |
Profit | SP – CP (if SP > CP) |
Loss | CP – SP (if CP > SP) |
Profit % | (Profit / CP) × 100 |
Loss % | (Loss / CP) × 100 |
SP = CP × (100 + Profit%) / 100
CP = SP × 100 / (100 + Profit%)
SP = CP × (100 – Loss%) / 100
Profit = 25% → CP : SP = 100 : 125 = 4 : 5
Loss = 20% → CP : SP = 100 : 80 = 5 : 4
SP = MP × (100 – Discount%) / 100
Combine discount & CP to get Profit/Loss
