Profit and Loss Important Formulas:

Cost Price:

The price, at which an article is purchased, is called its cost price, abbreviated as C.P.

Selling Price:

The price, at which an article is sold, is called its selling prices, abbreviated as S.P.

Profit or Gain:

If S.P. is greater than C.P., the seller is said to have a profit or gain.

Loss:

If S.P. is less than C.P., the seller is said to have incurred a loss.

1.    Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.)
2.    Loss or gain is always reckoned on C.P.
3.    gain% = [Gain*100/C.P.]
4.    Loss = (C.P.) - (S.P.)
5.    Loss% = [Loss*100/C.P.]
6.    S.P. = (100+Gain%)/100 * C.P.
7.    S.P. = (100-Loss%)/100 * C.P.
8.    C.P. = 100/(100+Gain%) * S.P.
9.    C.P. = 100/(100-Loss%) * S.P.
10.    If an article is sold at a gain of say, 35%, then S.P. = 135% of C.P.
11.    If an article is sold at a loss of say, 35%, then S.P. = 65% of C.P.
