Profit & Loss
· Formula🧮 Formula Reference Sheet
Profit = SP − CP (when SP > CP) Loss = CP − SP (when CP > SP) Profit% = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100 Loss% = (Loss ÷ CP) × 100 SP = CP × (100 ± P%) ÷ 100 Equiv. disc = a + b − (a×b)/100 [successive]
⚡ Example per formula
Profit = SP − CP (when SP > CP)
↳CP=200, SP=250 → Profit = ₹50
Loss = CP − SP (when CP > SP)
↳CP=500, SP=400 → Loss = ₹100
Profit% = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100
↳(50/200) × 100 = 25%
Loss% = (Loss ÷ CP) × 100
↳(100/500) × 100 = 20%
SP = CP × (100 ± P%) ÷ 100
↳CP=500, +20% → SP = 500 × 1.2 = ₹600
Equiv. disc = a + b − (a×b)/100 [successive]
↳20% + 10% = 30 − 2 = 28% equivalent
