Profit and Loss: Key formulas
- Profit = SP − CP; Profit% = Profit ÷ CP × 100. Loss% is also on CP.
- SP = CP × (100 + Profit%) ÷ 100; SP = CP × (100 − Loss%) ÷ 100.
- Discount is on the marked price: SP = MP × (100 − Discount%) ÷ 100.
- Two successive discounts a% and b%: single equivalent discount = a + b − (a × b) ÷ 100.
- Dishonest dealer using a false weight: Gain% = (True weight − False weight) ÷ False weight × 100.
- If two items are sold at the same SP, one at x% profit and one at x% loss, the overall result is a loss of x²/100 %.
